9 Wild Cheesecakes You Didn’t Know Existed

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at U Chicago chapter.

You can never go wrong with cheesecake; it has the perfect balance of creaminess, sweetness and tang. Throw in some Nutella or pumpkin and it’s an automatic winner. For a cheesecake that will totally rock-your-socks-off and have you running to the kitchen for more, check out the following:

1. Caramel Apple Cheesecake Pie

This is essentially combining two spectacular desserts, both of which can easily stand on their own: apple pie and cheesecake. A nice drizzle of caramel on top doesn’t hurt either. Sign me up!

2. Peanut Butter Cup Cheesecake

Whoever thought of a savory cheesecake is brilliant. The jalapeno and cheese combination would go quite well with some Ritz crackers! (Or with a spoon….)

4. Lavender Lemon Cheesecake
