15 Extra Unique Cheesecake Recipes

If there’s one thing we love most in the world (besides our family and friends, of course), it has to be dessert. If we’re being honest, we’re not even that picky about what kind of dessert, so long as we get to enjoy something delicious and sweet periodically! We find, however, that the kind of dessert we like the most kind of goes in phases depending on the season and what we’re craving. Lately, for example, we’ve been completely obsessed with cheesecake! We love the way it tastes (no matter what kind it is), we love the process of making it, and we adore the fact that it comes in just about as many kinds you can possibly imagine.

Just in case you’re just as in love with all things cheesecake as we are, if not more, here are 15 of the very best homemade cheesecake flavours, ideas, and recipes we’ve come across in our search so far!
