National Cheesecake Day (Cheesecake Ideas)

If you're looking for an excuse to eat more cheesecake, you'll be happy to know that Sunday is National Cheesecake Day. You could just go to your local Cheesecake Factory (half-off sale on any cheesecake slice for dine-in guests), but if you're feeling a bit more adventuresome, you can make one yourself.

I've listed below all the cheesecake recipes I've posted in the past for your viewing pleasure. A basic cheesecake recipe is like ice cream: it serves as an excellent palette for other flavors. Get creative!

Gluten Free Cheesecake Parfait Recipe

It's National Cheesecake Day this weekend and, though I’ve made many cheesecakes in the past, my goal was to put a new twist on the special dessert. Since we were invited to our friend Carol's home (she’s gluten intolerant), I decided to make my cheesecake gluten-free.

I made the mousse egg-free and flavored it with both raspberries and strawberries. For a contrast in texture, I added a layer of crunchy, diced yellow nectarines. And to make it look more fun, I topped the dessert cups with pistachio-flavored whipped cream and crushed pistachios. I don’t think anyone missed the crust. For those who could eat gluten, I slipped a ladyfinger cookie into the verrine. How amazing does that sound?
