It’s hard to go wrong with a cheesecake. The creamy dessert is a win at every tea party or social gathering, and was good enough to inspire a factory! As great as a classic cheesecake is, there are ways to make it even better. 

Fresh Berries

Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, oh my! Not only do berries add a pop of color to your cheesecake, but their sweet and tangy flavors perfectly complement that rich creaminess.

Chocolate Ganache

Who doesn’t love chocolate?! If you want to make your cheesecake even more irresistible, throw some chocolate into the mix. A smooth and decadent chocolate ganache is the ideal way to top off your already luxurious dessert.

Caramel Sauce

This ooey-gooey goodness is a superb combination of sweet and salty. Drizzle some warm caramel sauce over your cheesecake and finish it off with a few sprinkles of sea salt. That cake will disappear in seconds.

Crushed Cookies

Looking to add some crunch to your cheesecake? Crushed cookies are the way to go. Oreos, graham crackers, or even Lotus biscuits all work excellently as a topping. Simply put the cookies in a ziplock bag and go over them with a rolling pin or bash them on the counter a few times.

Sour Cream

An oldie but a goodie. Sour cream is a classic topping associated with a traditional New York-style cheesecake. The sour cream, sugar, and vanilla combo will add a light and airy element to the rich cake.
