I am taking a break today from my Cooking Through My Collection Series to celebrate National Cheesecake Day.
Did you know that today, July 30, is National Cheesecake Day?
I could not let a day like National Cheesecake Day go to waste. After all we do love cheesecake in our house and I have quite a few cheesecake recipes that I love. So in honor of National Cheesecake Day I am sharing a post from the archives today that I shared last year for National Cheesecake Day.
If you are gluten free be sure to check out the cheesecake pie I am sharing over in my allergy section today. It is the cheesecake pictured above. And if you are not gluten free be sure to check out the recipe I shared in my allergy section today. It is a dessert anyone will love.
A favorite in our house is this White Chocolate Cheesecake. I make it crustless, but you could easily add a crust to this one.
Last year I also shared a few of my favorite tips for making cheesecake. and they work perfectly for this Chocolate Cheesecake.
I also make this cheesecake crustless, but again you could easily add a crust to this. I think an oreo cookie crust would be really good.
We also love my mom’s easy cheesecake. This is a favorite in our house and is a cheesecake my mom has been making for years.
This chocolate cheesecake pie is not a traditional cheesecake, but it is very good.
Now, I am off to make a cheesecake. What are you making for National Cheesecake Day?
I <3 Cheesecake. No questions asked! lol
I have a hop going on right now called "Flash-Back-Friday" and you link up an old post. Its so much fun–like looking in a scrapbook. I would love for you to link up a post!
Happy Friday!

oh man… this made me hungry! I LOVE cheesecake!! 🙂
I had no idea it was national cheesecake day or there even was one for that matter. How cool! Those cheesecakes look scrumptious and sound delish!!
Ironic. I just made my very first ever cheesecake on Tuesday. I had some lemons and blueberries that needed used up, and I hadn’t had a chance to use my springform pan I got for my wedding back in May. So cheesecake was a perfect solution.
The recipe I found included the water bath while baking, and it was the most beautiful cheesecake! So smooth on top with no cracks! I’d heard how hard cheesecake is to bake, so I was expecting disaster!!
My husband throws chocolate chips in the bottom of the pan before he pours his chocolate cheesecake into it. The chips melt while cooking and cool into a nice layer of chocolate. It pairs well with the smoothness of the cheesecake.
@Kate, That is a great idea! I am going to have to try that next time I make the chocolate cheesecake.
I made a sopapilla cheesecake this evening. It WAS gonna be for us to eat tonight while my SIL and her kids were visiting…but then my husband reminded me that we needed a dessert for a potluck tomorrow. So we’ll have ice cream tonight and eat cheesecake a day late tomorrow!!
Lynne, I went back and read your tips on cheesecakes. We are making one this weekend that we’ve made before, it’s cookies and cream, but you make it in a 9×13. I usually use my pyrex 9×13. Do you think it would still work to put that pyrex in a water bath for baking? Ever tried that??
@Andrea, Is the the recipe you are referring to? https://www.lynnskitchenadventures.com/2009/09/cookies-and-cream-mini-cheescakes-cupcakes.html If so I have not tried that recipe in a water bath. I think a water bath might make the cookies in that recipe a little soggy since you use the whole cookie instead of a cookie crust. If that is not the recipe you mean, let me know and I will try help.
@Lynn,
Sorry to be confusing, Lynne…this is the recipe I am using…I called it cookies and cream, but I guess I remembered wrong…it just has a cookie crust:

@Andrea, I am not sure about that specific recipe. It does not have liquid like cream or sour cream in it, so it is a thicker denser cheesecake. If you have made it before and had it turn out without the water bath, I would just stick to the usual way you fix it. I hope that helps.
