Cheesecake is a favorite dessert recipe of those with a sweet tooth everywhere. This dish can come in a variety of flavors, including pumpkin, chocolate chip and raspberry. Although there are many different ways that you can prepare it, as long as you have a basic cheesecake recipe, you'll be able to make one for any occasion. It is a great item to bring to a party or to serve for dessert at home if you are having guests over for dinner.

The basic recipe on our site calls for butter, graham cracker crumbs, sugar, cream cheese, eggs, cream and vanilla. Spring-form pans are the best choice for making a cheesecake, and you'll need a mixer to get everything nice and creamy. This recipe is fairly easy to make; you just have to be sure you check the middle for firmness and allow the top to brown slightly to get it perfect. Once you master the "no fuss" cheesecake, you can begin to experiment with more challenging options.

Toppings always add a nice touch to regular cheesecake, and you can pair nearly anything sweet with it. Try fresh fruit, such as strawberries or blueberries, or you can opt for just a little bit of whipped cream. For a truly decadent topper, drizzle some chocolate sauce or caramel over the cheesecake and then garnish with a handful of pecans. Serve on a chilled dish for the best results so that it stays in good shape until it has been tasted.
