With a few packages of cream cheese, some eggs, sugar, and sometimes a bit of sour cream—plus any special flavoring agents that make the dessert feel seasonally perfect—you're well on your way. Some of these dessert recipes don't even require a springform pan. Below, you'll find our favorite classic New York-style cheesecake, easy pumpkin cheesecake bars, and the best cheesecake recipe for banana pudding lovers, too. Preheat your oven and scroll down for our 47 favorite step-by-step recipes for the ultimate creamy dessert.\nPhoto by Joseph De Leo, Food Styling by Susan Ottaviano and Stevie Stewart\nOriginal New York Cheesecake\nWhy mess with perfection? Junior's famous original cheesecake recipe has been baked the same way for more than half a century.\nPhoto by Joseph De Leo, Food Styling by Stevie Stewart\nRaspberry Swirl Cheesecake\nRaspberry swirl cheesecake is better with homemade raspberry purée and an easy brown butter crust.\nPhoto by Joseph De Leo, Food Styling by Micah Marie Morton\nBasque-Style Sweet Potato Cheesecake\nPumpkin cheesecake may be your Thanksgiving tradition, but have you tried sweet potato cheesecake? This Basque-inspired delight deserves a spot on your holiday table. The active prep time is just 35 minutes, and most of the total time is hands-off.\nPhoto by Chelsea Kyle, Prop Styling by Beatrice Chastka, Food Styling by Pearl Jones\nMarbled Pumpkin-Maple Cheesecake Bars\nMeet the ultimate Thanksgiving dessert—swirled pumpkin cheesecake bars, sweetened with maple syrup and spiced with ginger, layered atop an easy graham cracker crust. If it's your first time making cheesecake, this is a great recipe to start with; there's no water bath or springform pan required.\nPhoto by Joseph De Leo, Food Styling by Lillian Chou\nBanana Pudding Cheesecake Bars\nIf you love banana pudding and you adore cheesecake, too, you need to make these luxuriously tall and flavorful cheesecake bars from Epi contributor Tara O'Brady. The crust uses crushed Nilla wafers instead of graham cracker crumbs. Fresh banana cheesecake (made with cream cheese, ripe bananas, sweetened condensed milk, large eggs, and vanilla bean paste) crowned with tangy sour cream whip is the kind of dessert you won't forget quickly. This is one of the best cheesecakes—and the best desserts, period—that we've tried all year.\nPhoto by Chelsea Kyle, Prop Styling by Astrid Chastka, Food Styling by Olivia Mack Anderson\nGoat Cheese, Honey, and Rye Crust Pie\nThis cheesecake-like dessert is based on the first-ever recorded pie recipe, written down by ancient Romans. Be sure to bring the goat cheese, cream cheese, and eggs to room temperature before you start making the filling.\nPhoto by Chelsea Kyle, Prop Styling by Beatrice Chastka, Food Styling by Olivia Mack Anderson\nPumpkin Cheesecake With Bourbon–Sour Cream Topping\nThe caramelized flavor of bourbon and the tang of sour cream add balance to the rich, spiced filling of this cheesecake. Chopped pecans add a nutty dimension to the graham cracker crust.\nPhoto by Joseph De Leo, Food Styling by Bill Clark\nCreole Cream Cheesecake With Caramel-Apple Topping\nThis cheesecake is silky, tangy, and mousselike, thanks to Creole cream cheese. (You can sub a mix of sour cream and buttermilk.) The crust combines melted butter, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, and graham cracker crumbs. The tart-and-sweet apple topping makes it the perfect cheesecake for fall.\nPhoto by Chelsea Kyle, food styling by Katherine Sacks\n3-Ingredient Japanese Cheesecake\nThis easy Japanese-inspired cheesecake is one part soufflé, one part custard, resulting in a lightly sweet and airy cake that is super simple to make. Once you get the batter in the pan, the cook time is 40–45 minutes, but you'll let the cheesecake cool in the turned-off oven for 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.\nPhoto by Travis Rainey, Prop styling by Alexandra Massillon, Food styling by Kaitlin Wayne\nFlan de Queso\nTangy cream cheese custard drenched in bittersweet caramel. Cue the oohs and aahs.\nPhoto by Jonathan Lovekin\nRicotta Filo Cake\nBring this one to the table to really wow your dinner companions. As you slice through, the pastry will shatter, offering wisps of crispness with the soft, creamy cheesecake.\nPhoto & Food Styling by Kendra Vaculin\nFrozen Avocado Cake\nThe retro-green hue of this dessert comes from avocados. The no-bake filling simply combines the avocado with sweetened condensed milk, cream cheese, lime and lemon juice and zest, and a pinch of salt, then it all chills in your freezer overnight. \nPhoto by Travis Rainey, Prop styling by Gerri Williams, Food styling by Erika Joyce\nMascarpone Cheesecake\nAn extra-silky filling (no water bath needed!) and a smooth sour cream topping make this the ultimate cheesecake.\nPhoto by Penny De Los Santos\nSouffléed Cheesecake\nThanks to an initial burst of high heat, this goat cheese cheesecake from Stella Parks puffs gently in the oven, creating a uniquely light but creamy consistency.\nPhoto by Tara Fisher\nPeanut Butter and Sour Cherry Cheesecake\nSweet cream cheese, salty peanut butter and tart sour cherries all mingle together to create one perfectly balanced flavor sensation. Since it's not baked, this dessert is set with gelatin, which means you have to let it chill complete before slicing in.\nDavid Frenkiel and Luise Vindahl\nTorta di Ricotta e Polenta\nRich, sweet, moist and yet completely free from flour and refined sugar, this Italian lemon and almond cake is a great way to end a meal. It is technically a cheesecake, but has very little in common with most American versions.\nNigel Cox\nRicotta Cheesecake with Caramel-Orange Sauce\nThis delicious dessert requires a little bit of planning. The day before baking the cheesecake, drain the ricotta in the fridge. Once the cheesecake is baked, it needs to chill one day to firm up. We promise, it's worth the wait.\nPhoto by HarperCollins Publishers (New Zealand) Limited\nGreen Tea Cheesecake\nThe earthy flavor of\nmatcha\ncuts the sweetness of this cheesecake—and adds a lovely color.\ndonna hay magazine, photography by William Meppem\nClassic Lemon Cheesecake\nZesty, creamy, and light-as-air, this cake is completely heavenly. It's impossible to stop at one slice. You'll need a large bowl and a food processor to make this recipe, but you don't need a stand mixer or a paddle attachment. The baking time is a little over an hour.\nPatricia Heal\nDulce de Leche Cheesecake Bars\nDulce de leche flavors the filling and also serves as a soft glaze for these bars. A sprinkling of sea salt turns the dessert into a craveable salty-sweet treat.\nNew York Cheesecake\nThis classic cheesecake recipe gives you the iconic, delicious cheesecake: high, firm, and dense, with a slightly lemony flavor. New York-style cheesecake sometimes includes sour cream in the mix, though this recipe does not.\nSigne Birck\nStrawberry Cheesecake Milkshake\nSure you can eat your cheesecake with a fork, but sipping it with a straw—in the form of this sweet and tangy milkshake—is so much more fun.\nAnn Stratton\nChocolate Marble Cheesecake\nAn addition of cocoa powder, espresso, and chocolate chips turns part of this cheesecake batter into rich dark swirls set against the classic base.\nSara Bonisteel\nThin Mints Girl Scout Cookie Cheesecake\nTo create this Girl Scout cookie–inspired dessert, grind Thin Mints and use them to make the cookie crust for a luscious mint chocolate cheesecake.\nRomulo Yanes\nVegan Chocolate Cheesecake\nCombining bittersweet chocolate and cocoa powder intensifies the chocolaty essence of this cheesecake to the nth degree. Silken tofu brings a delicate creaminess to the filling while also taking the place of eggs by acting as a binding agent.\nAlexandra Defurio\nCaramel Swirl Cheesecake\nToasted walnuts and brown sugar come together to form a flavorful and unique crust for this sour cream-spiked cheesecake. Homemade caramel sauce gets swirled into the cheesecake filling using a knife or toothpick.\nChris Gentile\nCaramel Cheesecake Bites\nA layer of gooey dulce de leche is hidden between the sugar cookie base and creamy cheesecake top.\nPhoto by Ditte Isager\nRicotta Tart with Dried-Fruit Compote\nThis gently sweet ricotta tart provides a creamy base for a rich compote of dried fruit, which includes figs, sour cherries, and apricots.\nPhoto by Romulo Yanes\nPumpkin Ginger Cheesecake Pie\nStill not sure which of these cheesecake recipes belongs on your holiday table? Here, pumpkin not only lends richness but also makes the pie a stunner, with mesmerizing swirls of orange. Ginger adds a subtle snap.\nThe Epicurious editorial team develops original recipes, and publishes stories about cooking better, faster, and more creatively, sustainably, and affordably.\nSee our full masthead, here\n. ...\nRead More\nMeal planning made easier\nGet our daily newsletter for the best recipes to make every day, plus ingenious cooking tips and tricks.\nRead More\nLike lemony risotto and tandoori-style cauliflower.\nLike “absolutely decadent” chocolate pudding and fattoush salad.\nLike airy lemon chiffon cake and a Cadbury egg–inspired tart.\nEvery salad should have pita chips.\nA glug of lemon-lime soda gives this pound cake a citrusy zip and tender crumb.\nLike spicy carrot rigatoni and weeknight-fancy ravioli with peas.\nFor Derby Day indulgence or a post-Thanksgiving lunch, this Kentucky favorite can’t be beat.\nA strip of lemon zest balances this refreshing spring classic.\nUse this classic lemon curd on scones, in yogurt, or between layers of meringue.\nLow effort, big flavor, and ready in under an hour.\nThis lasagna soup delivers rich, baked-pasta flavor without an oven.

Boilerpipe Text	Dessert 47 Cheesecake Recipes for the Ultimate Dessert Experience If you're going to bake a cheesecake, it might as well be a showstopper. October 6, 2021 Photo by Chelsea Kyle, Prop Styling by Beatrice Chastka, Food Styling by Olivia Mack Anderson There's no reason for cheesecake recipes to seem like a restaurant or bakery-only thing: You can absolutely make creamy, luscious cheesecake at home. With a few packages of cream cheese, some eggs, sugar, and sometimes a bit of sour cream—plus any special flavoring agents that make the dessert feel seasonally perfect—you're well on your way. Some of these dessert recipes don't even require a springform pan. Below, you'll find our favorite classic New York-style cheesecake, easy pumpkin cheesecake bars, and the best cheesecake recipe for banana pudding lovers, too. Preheat your oven and scroll down for our 47 favorite step-by-step recipes for the ultimate creamy dessert. Photo by Joseph De Leo, Food Styling by Susan Ottaviano and Stevie Stewart Original New York Cheesecake Why mess with perfection? Junior's famous original cheesecake recipe has been baked the same way for more than half a century. Photo by Joseph De Leo, Food Styling by Stevie Stewart Raspberry Swirl Cheesecake Raspberry swirl cheesecake is better with homemade raspberry purée and an easy brown butter crust. Photo by Joseph De Leo, Food Styling by Micah Marie Morton Basque-Style Sweet Potato Cheesecake Pumpkin cheesecake may be your Thanksgiving tradition, but have you tried sweet potato cheesecake? This Basque-inspired delight deserves a spot on your holiday table. The active prep time is just 35 minutes, and most of the total time is hands-off. Photo by Chelsea Kyle, Prop Styling by Beatrice Chastka, Food Styling by Pearl Jones Marbled Pumpkin-Maple Cheesecake Bars Meet the ultimate Thanksgiving dessert—swirled pumpkin cheesecake bars, sweetened with maple syrup and spiced with ginger, layered atop an easy graham cracker crust. If it's your first time making cheesecake, this is a great recipe to start with; there's no water bath or springform pan required. Photo by Joseph De Leo, Food Styling by Lillian Chou Banana Pudding Cheesecake Bars If you love banana pudding and you adore cheesecake, too, you need to make these luxuriously tall and flavorful cheesecake bars from Epi contributor Tara O'Brady. The crust uses crushed Nilla wafers instead of graham cracker crumbs. Fresh banana cheesecake (made with cream cheese, ripe bananas, sweetened condensed milk, large eggs, and vanilla bean paste) crowned with tangy sour cream whip is the kind of dessert you won't forget quickly. This is one of the best cheesecakes—and the best desserts, period—that we've tried all year. Photo by Chelsea Kyle, Prop Styling by Astrid Chastka, Food Styling by Olivia Mack Anderson Goat Cheese, Honey, and Rye Crust Pie This cheesecake-like dessert is based on the first-ever recorded pie recipe, written down by ancient Romans. Be sure to bring the goat cheese, cream cheese, and eggs to room temperature before you start making the filling. Photo by Chelsea Kyle, Prop Styling by Beatrice Chastka, Food Styling by Olivia Mack Anderson Pumpkin Cheesecake With Bourbon–Sour Cream Topping The caramelized flavor of bourbon and the tang of sour cream add balance to the rich, spiced filling of this cheesecake. Chopped pecans add a nutty dimension to the graham cracker crust. Photo by Joseph De Leo, Food Styling by Bill Clark Creole Cream Cheesecake With Caramel-Apple Topping This cheesecake is silky, tangy, and mousselike, thanks to Creole cream cheese. (You can sub a mix of sour cream and buttermilk.) The crust combines melted butter, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, and graham cracker crumbs. The tart-and-sweet apple topping makes it the perfect cheesecake for fall. Photo by Chelsea Kyle, food styling by Katherine Sacks 3-Ingredient Japanese Cheesecake This easy Japanese-inspired cheesecake is one part soufflé, one part custard, resulting in a lightly sweet and airy cake that is super simple to make. Once you get the batter in the pan, the cook time is 40–45 minutes, but you'll let the cheesecake cool in the turned-off oven for 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Photo by Travis Rainey, Prop styling by Alexandra Massillon, Food styling by Kaitlin Wayne Flan de Queso Tangy cream cheese custard drenched in bittersweet caramel. Cue the oohs and aahs. Photo by Jonathan Lovekin Ricotta Filo Cake Bring this one to the table to really wow your dinner companions. As you slice through, the pastry will shatter, offering wisps of crispness with the soft, creamy cheesecake. Photo & Food Styling by Kendra Vaculin Frozen Avocado Cake The retro-green hue of this dessert comes from avocados. The no-bake filling simply combines the avocado with sweetened condensed milk, cream cheese, lime and lemon juice and zest, and a pinch of salt, then it all chills in your freezer overnight. Photo by Travis Rainey, Prop styling by Gerri Williams, Food styling by Erika Joyce Mascarpone Cheesecake An extra-silky filling (no water bath needed!) and a smooth sour cream topping make this the ultimate cheesecake. Photo by Penny De Los Santos Souffléed Cheesecake Thanks to an initial burst of high heat, this goat cheese cheesecake from Stella Parks puffs gently in the oven, creating a uniquely light but creamy consistency. Photo by Tara Fisher Peanut Butter and Sour Cherry Cheesecake Sweet cream cheese, salty peanut butter and tart sour cherries all mingle together to create one perfectly balanced flavor sensation. Since it's not baked, this dessert is set with gelatin, which means you have to let it chill complete before slicing in. David Frenkiel and Luise Vindahl Torta di Ricotta e Polenta Rich, sweet, moist and yet completely free from flour and refined sugar, this Italian lemon and almond cake is a great way to end a meal. It is technically a cheesecake, but has very little in common with most American versions. Nigel Cox Ricotta Cheesecake with Caramel-Orange Sauce This delicious dessert requires a little bit of planning. The day before baking the cheesecake, drain the ricotta in the fridge. Once the cheesecake is baked, it needs to chill one day to firm up. We promise, it's worth the wait. Photo by HarperCollins Publishers (New Zealand) Limited Green Tea Cheesecake The earthy flavor of matcha cuts the sweetness of this cheesecake—and adds a lovely color. donna hay magazine, photography by William Meppem Classic Lemon Cheesecake Zesty, creamy, and light-as-air, this cake is completely heavenly. It's impossible to stop at one slice. You'll need a large bowl and a food processor to make this recipe, but you don't need a stand mixer or a paddle attachment. The baking time is a little over an hour. Patricia Heal Dulce de Leche Cheesecake Bars Dulce de leche flavors the filling and also serves as a soft glaze for these bars. A sprinkling of sea salt turns the dessert into a craveable salty-sweet treat. New York Cheesecake This classic cheesecake recipe gives you the iconic, delicious cheesecake: high, firm, and dense, with a slightly lemony flavor.

Signe Birck Strawberry Cheesecake Milkshake Sure you can eat your cheesecake with a fork, but sipping it with a straw—in the form of this sweet and tangy milkshake—is so much more fun. Ann Stratton Chocolate Marble Cheesecake An addition of cocoa powder, espresso, and chocolate chips turns part of this cheesecake batter into rich dark swirls set against the classic base.

Romulo Yanes Vegan Chocolate Cheesecake Combining bittersweet chocolate and cocoa powder intensifies the chocolaty essence of this cheesecake to the nth degree. Silken tofu brings a delicate creaminess to the filling while also taking the place of eggs by acting as a binding agent. Alexandra Defurio Caramel Swirl Cheesecake Toasted walnuts and brown sugar come together to form a flavorful and unique crust for this sour cream-spiked cheesecake. Homemade caramel sauce gets swirled into the cheesecake filling using a knife or toothpick. Chris Gentile Caramel Cheesecake Bites A layer of gooey dulce de leche is hidden between the sugar cookie base and creamy cheesecake top.

Fresh banana cheesecake (made with cream cheese, ripe bananas, sweetened condensed milk, large eggs, and vanilla bean paste) crowned with tangy sour cream whip is the kind of dessert you won't forget quickly. This is one of the best cheesecakes—and the best desserts, period—that we've tried all year. - ![Photo of a Goat Cheese Honey and Rye Pie in a pan with a side of sliced peaches and a spoon.](https://assets.epicurious.com/photos/58c6ff96d6177b0ba25ba27d/1:1/w_1024%2Cc_limit/Goat-Cheese-Honey-and-Rye-Pie-09032017.jpg) Photo by Chelsea Kyle, Prop Styling by Astrid Chastka, Food Styling by Olivia Mack Anderson [Goat Cheese, Honey, and Rye Crust Pie](https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/goat-cheese-honey-and-rye-crust-pie) This cheesecake-like dessert is based on the first-ever recorded pie recipe, written down by ancient Romans. Be sure to bring the goat cheese, cream cheese, and eggs to room temperature before you start making the filling. - ![Pumpkin Cheesecake with Bourbon Sour Cream Topping on a platter with a slice cut out and drinks on the side](https://assets.epicurious.com/photos/5bb39230050fbb2d4d3e8552/1:1/w_1024%2Cc_limit/Pumpkin-Cheesecake-with-Bourbon-Sour-Cream-Topping-recipe-14092018.jpg) Photo by Chelsea Kyle, Prop Styling by Beatrice Chastka, Food Styling by Olivia Mack Anderson [Pumpkin Cheesecake With Bourbon–Sour Cream Topping](https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/pumpkin-cheesecake-with-bourbon-sour-cream-topping-13386) The caramelized flavor of bourbon and the tang of sour cream add balance to the rich, spiced filling of this cheesecake. Chopped pecans add a nutty dimension to the graham cracker crust. - ![Photo of a Creole cream cheese cheesecake with graham cracker crust and caramel apple topping on a plate.](https://assets.epicurious.com/photos/5f74a85c432456bd3f8de820/1:1/w_1024%2Cc_limit/CreoleCheeseCake_HERO_092320_12112_final.jpg) Photo by Joseph De Leo, Food Styling by Bill Clark [Creole Cream Cheesecake With Caramel-Apple Topping](https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/creole-cream-cheesecake-with-caramel-apple-topping) This cheesecake is silky, tangy, and mousselike, thanks to Creole cream cheese. (You can sub a mix of sour cream and buttermilk.) The crust combines melted butter, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, and graham cracker crumbs. The tart-and-sweet apple topping makes it the perfect cheesecake for fall. - ![A 3ingredient Japanese cheesecake on plate with a slice of cake on a green plate.

Once you get the batter in the pan, the cook time is 40–45 minutes, but you'll let the cheesecake cool in the turned-off oven for 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. - ![Flan de queso on a cake plate with a slice cut out.](https://assets.epicurious.com/photos/67b79c12c260f6c987bb9f09/1:1/w_1024%2Cc_limit/flan-de-queso_RECIPE_V2_021125_0945_VOG_final.jpg) Photo by Travis Rainey, Prop styling by Alexandra Massillon, Food styling by Kaitlin Wayne [Flan de Queso](https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/flan-de-queso-cheese-flan) Tangy cream cheese custard drenched in bittersweet caramel.

As you slice through, the pastry will shatter, offering wisps of crispness with the soft, creamy cheesecake. - ![Cheesecake on a speckled plate with a fork.](https://assets.epicurious.com/photos/58485cfe0a40331719a0d138/1:1/w_1024%2Cc_limit/Philadelphia-Classic-Cheesecake-07122016-1.jpg) - ![Photo of an avocado cheese with a slice on a plate with a fork.](https://assets.epicurious.com/photos/5f594905ac733a69984c9818/1:1/w_1024%2Cc_limit/IMG_6429_V2_final.jpg) Photo & Food Styling by Kendra Vaculin [Frozen Avocado Cake](https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/frozen-avocado-cake-nadine-levy-redzepi) The retro-green hue of this dessert comes from avocados. The no-bake filling simply combines the avocado with sweetened condensed milk, cream cheese, lime and lemon juice and zest, and a pinch of salt, then it all chills in your freezer overnight. - ![Top down view of ricotta cheesecake with almond praline.](https://assets.epicurious.com/photos/5a25c206f8072f0487b379f7/1:1/w_1024%2Cc_limit/ricotta-cheesecake-with-almond-praline-donna-hay-recipe-112917.jpg) - ![Photo of a slice being remove from a Togarashi cheesecake.](https://assets.epicurious.com/photos/5e6bdf241cd596000872894b/1:1/w_1024%2Cc_limit/SavorySpice_HERO_V2_030520_075_VOG_final.jpg) - ![A mascarpone cheesecake with a vanilla sour cream topping crushed graham crackers and a graham cracker crust.](https://assets.epicurious.com/photos/68cdc542c017905c532ae797/1:1/w_1024%2Cc_limit/mascarpone-cheesecake_RECIPE_V2_091825_4044_VOG_final.jpg) Photo by Travis Rainey, Prop styling by Gerri Williams, Food styling by Erika Joyce [Mascarpone Cheesecake](https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/mascarpone-cheesecake) An extra-silky filling (no water bath needed!) and a smooth sour cream topping make this the ultimate cheesecake. - ![A plated slice of souffled cheescake with a blueberry compote on top.](https://assets.epicurious.com/photos/5a14b3218ae55b4da7565773/1:1/w_1024%2Cc_limit/souffleed-cheesecake-bravetart-recipe-112117.jpg) Photo by Penny De Los Santos [Souffléed Cheesecake](https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/souffleed-cheesecake) Thanks to an initial burst of high heat, this goat cheese cheesecake from Stella Parks puffs gently in the oven, creating a uniquely light but creamy consistency. - ![Image may contain Confectionery Food Sweets Plant Meal Dish Fruit and Strawberry](https://assets.epicurious.com/photos/56af91c8fa514d2f0ab7bcf8/1:1/w_1024%2Cc_limit/EP_01262016_ValentinesDayMenu_dessert.jpg) - ![Image may contain Birthday Cake Food Dessert Cake Plant Torte Fruit and Blueberry](https://assets.epicurious.com/photos/59887e68ded3755fce0f8f68/1:1/w_1024%2Cc_limit/peanut-butter-sour-cherry-cheesecake-recipe-HC-080317.jpg) Photo by Tara Fisher [Peanut Butter and Sour Cherry Cheesecake](https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/peanut-butter-and-sour-cherry-cheesecake) Sweet cream cheese, salty peanut butter and tart sour cherries all mingle together to create one perfectly balanced flavor sensation. Since it's not baked, this dessert is set with gelatin, which means you have to let it chill complete before slicing in. - ![Ricotta cheesecake with amarena cherries on a glass plate.](https://assets.epicurious.com/photos/59c2dc18898fdc2cf90f2fc9/1:1/w_1024%2Cc_limit/ricotta-cheesecake-pie-with-amarena-cherries-recipe-091117.jpg) - ![Layered chocolate brownies with cheesecake on Marble Tiles](https://assets.epicurious.com/photos/6140f6947d9791570a3e06f8/1:1/w_1024%2Cc_limit/money-cant-buy-happiness-brownies-nadiya-hussain.jpg) - ![Image may contain Plant and Food](https://assets.epicurious.com/photos/54aaeab16529d92b2c02f4ac/1:1/w_1024%2Cc_limit/51258610_torta_di_ricotta_1x1.jpg) David Frenkiel and Luise Vindahl [Torta di Ricotta e Polenta](https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/torta-di-ricotta-e-polenta-51258610) Rich, sweet, moist and yet completely free from flour and refined sugar, this Italian lemon and almond cake is a great way to end a meal. It is technically a cheesecake, but has very little in common with most American versions. - ![A slice of greek yogurt cheesecake on a white plate covered in pomegranate syrup and pomegranate seeds.](https://assets.epicurious.com/photos/54b05bdbfca98987608b0bb9/1:1/w_1024%2Cc_limit/51123080_greek-yogurt-cheesecake_1x1.jpg) - ![Image may contain Food Confectionery Sweets Plant Cornbread and Bread](https://assets.epicurious.com/photos/54b30a563edeef84363b89c6/1:1/w_1024%2Cc_limit/357520_ricotta-cheesecake_1x1.jpg) Nigel Cox [Ricotta Cheesecake with Caramel-Orange Sauce](https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/ricotta-cheesecake-with-caramel-orange-sauce-357520) This delicious dessert requires a little bit of planning. The day before baking the cheesecake, drain the ricotta in the fridge. Once the cheesecake is baked, it needs to chill one day to firm up. We promise, it's worth the wait. - ![Image may contain Art Pottery Porcelain Animal Reptile and Snake](https://assets.epicurious.com/photos/55eee734ad4e361c200f73c4/1:1/w_1024%2Cc_limit/56390032_green-tea-cheesecake.jpg) Photo by HarperCollins Publishers (New Zealand) Limited [Green Tea Cheesecake](https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/green-tea-cheesecake-56390032) The earthy flavor of [matcha](https://www.epicurious.com/ingredients/the-best-matcha-to-make-at-home-article) cuts the sweetness of this cheesecake—and adds a lovely color. - ![Lemon cheesecake topped with white icing on parchment paper.](https://assets.epicurious.com/photos/5601a45a7bdffb1205b543f6/1:1/w_1024%2Cc_limit/ClassicLemonCheesecake-01_5589.jpg) donna hay magazine, photography by William Meppem [Classic Lemon Cheesecake](https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/classic-lemon-cheesecake-56390075) Zesty, creamy, and light-as-air, this cake is completely heavenly. It's impossible to stop at one slice. You'll need a large bowl and a food processor to make this recipe, but you don't need a stand mixer or a paddle attachment. The baking time is a little over an hour. - ![Image may contain Food Caramel and Dessert](https://assets.epicurious.com/photos/54b3b2d2460b4423363f4181/1:1/w_1024%2Cc_limit/359393_dulce-de-leche-cheesecake_1x1.jpg) Patricia Heal [Dulce de Leche Cheesecake Bars](https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/dulce-de-leche-cheesecake-bars-359393) Dulce de leche flavors the filling and also serves as a soft glaze for these bars. A sprinkling of sea salt turns the dessert into a craveable salty-sweet treat. - ![Image may contain Food Cutlery and Fork](https://assets.epicurious.com/photos/57c5c2dd84c001120f616528/1:1/w_1024%2Cc_limit/new-york-cheesecake.jpg) [New York Cheesecake](https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/new-york-cheesecake-102592) This classic cheesecake recipe gives you the iconic, delicious cheesecake: high, firm, and dense, with a slightly lemony flavor. New York-style cheesecake sometimes includes sour cream in the mix, though this recipe does not. - ![Image may contain Food Confectionery Sweets Dessert and Plant](https://assets.epicurious.com/photos/55de2d5fe5dddc7a28fd664a/1:1/w_1024%2Cc_limit/51104800_hires-6x4.jpg) - ![Image may contain Plant Fruit Food and Raspberry](https://assets.epicurious.com/photos/553e61a7ff11a7f13ba7cf9b/1:1/w_1024%2Cc_limit/56389498_raspberry-oat-cheesecake_6x4.jpg) - ![Image may contain Plant Food Lime Fruit and Citrus Fruit](https://assets.epicurious.com/photos/55f08719ad4e361c200f7958/1:1/w_1024%2Cc_limit/1007-BA-FEF1-05.jpg) - ![Image may contain Human Person Food Dessert Cream Creme Confectionery Sweets Furniture Dining Table and Table](https://assets.epicurious.com/photos/5527f8d0b329bd276d93e474/1:1/w_1024%2Cc_limit/6x4.jpg) - ![A lemon curd marbled cheesecake on a platter.](https://assets.epicurious.com/photos/5528063f20ca5d650ed21d50/1:1/w_1024%2Cc_limit/1-6x4.jpg) - ![Image may contain Drink Milk Juice Smoothie Milkshake and Beverage](https://assets.epicurious.com/photos/54b0862bfca98987608b519a/1:1/w_1024%2Cc_limit/51112440_strawberry-cheesecake-milkshake_1x1.jpg) Signe Birck [Strawberry Cheesecake Milkshake](https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/strawberry-cheesecake-milkshake-51112440) Sure you can eat your cheesecake with a fork, but sipping it with a straw—in the form of this sweet and tangy milkshake—is so much more fun. - ![A stack of two white plates with a slice of chocolate marble cheesecake and two forks on it.](https://assets.epicurious.com/photos/560d77e9f3a00aeb2f1cb418/1:1/w_1024%2Cc_limit/241488_hires.jpg) Ann Stratton [Chocolate Marble Cheesecake](https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/chocolate-marble-cheesecake-241488) An addition of cocoa powder, espresso, and chocolate chips turns part of this cheesecake batter into rich dark swirls set against the classic base. - ![Image may contain Plant Fruit Food Strawberry Dessert and Cake](https://assets.epicurious.com/photos/5609a5bc6a59cdb91b5ff594/1:1/w_1024%2Cc_limit/354029_hires.jpg) - ![Image may contain Food Dessert Chocolate Fudge Bread Cocoa Biscuit and Cookie](https://assets.epicurious.com/photos/54b3f989460b4423363f9946/1:1/w_1024%2Cc_limit/51222030_thin-mints--cookie-cheesecake_1x1.jpg) Sara Bonisteel [Thin Mints Girl Scout Cookie Cheesecake](https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/thin-mints-girl-scout-cookie-cheesecake-51222030) To create this Girl Scout cookie–inspired dessert, grind Thin Mints and use them to make the cookie crust for a luscious mint chocolate cheesecake. - ![Image may contain Food Dessert Cake Creme Cream Pie and Bread](https://assets.epicurious.com/photos/5609a773e0acd286555dba9e/1:1/w_1024%2Cc_limit/355990_hires.jpg) Romulo Yanes [Vegan Chocolate Cheesecake](https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/vegan-chocolate-cheesecake-355990) Combining bittersweet chocolate and cocoa powder intensifies the chocolaty essence of this cheesecake to the nth degree. Silken tofu brings a delicate creaminess to the filling while also taking the place of eggs by acting as a binding agent. - ![Image may contain Food Bread Cornbread Dessert Cake Confectionery and Sweets](https://assets.epicurious.com/photos/54ad34e76529d92b2c040668/1:1/w_1024%2Cc_limit/51204030_caramel-swirl-cheesecake-_1x1.jpg) Alexandra Defurio [Caramel Swirl Cheesecake](https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/caramel-swirl-cheesecake-51204030) Toasted walnuts and brown sugar come together to form a flavorful and unique crust for this sour cream-spiked cheesecake.
