There's nothing not to love about the supreme decadence of a cake based upon unctuous cheese. As we all know, at its base, the cheesecake combines cheese and crust, both of which can vary widely, with numerous additions like flavorings, spices and toppings. But this is where things get interesting...
From top to bottom, cheesecakes cover ingredients from A to Z, from classic fresh fruit toppings to exotic bases, like candy bars, amaretti cookies or seasoned shortbread. And don't think cheesecake need be limited to merely cakes -- it's also adds tang to frozen desserts, like these enticing blueberry cheesecake and strawberry cheesecake ice cream recipes.

There was a time -- when I was a kid -- that I hated cheesecake. And I think I hated it either without tasting it at all or maybe tasting it once and not liking it. I guess it was just that my taste buds weren't fully mature yet (if such a thing happens) and I thought "cheese? In cake? Gah!" But I love it now, to the point I can't have just once slice, I'll eat it until I get that "so good I'm getting sick" feeling.
