I want cheesecake to be on the menu at Thanksgiving, but looking at all the recipes on line is overwhelming.
Give me your best recipe, or flavor and I'll look up the recipe. But please not pumpkin since we have pumpkin pie, pumpkin roll, and pumpkin casserole.

I don't have a recipie. If I get cheescake it's usually at a restaraunt or I buy it at the grocery store pre made.
Cheesecake is my favorite deseart EVER! Chocolate chip cookies are a close second.

DH'd favorite is white chocolate raspberry cheesecake. Either a chocolate cookie crumb or plain graham cracker crust, melted white chocolate and a good raspberry jam swirled into the cheesecake mixture and baked according to your standard directions.

Red velvet, look it up at myrecipes.com and its the one from Southern Living.
Can be broken down into 3 premade Oreo crusts. Double the butter and cream ccheesein the topping but not the sugar.

Espresso cheesecake with a chocolate ganache. How do I make ganache? Most lazy: melt some chocolate chips IIRC, it's just melted chocolate and cream. Maybe vanilla? Been a while since I made any.

Do you have a BJs/Sams/Costco near? Cheesecake Factory cheesecake, 12 slices, $12. Amazing. They even have a variety pack and then a rotating special (though right now it's probably pumpkin).

This is my favorite recipe for Italian cheesecake: www.lidiasitaly.com/recipes/detail/1129Very simple to make and lighter than the brick-heavy all-cream-cheese-type traditional cake - but lightness made with real ingredients, too! Not "lighter" because of a lot of fat-free, sugar-free pseudo-food ingredients. My two favorite ways to dress this up are 1) with fresh figs and a caramel sauce, and 2) a pomegranate sauce and (real!) amaretto whipped cream. Hope this helps - and mangia!

BJ's and Sams, but I'm not a member anymore. Never used it. It's an hour drive to them. In opposite directions.

Key lime cheesecake? Just a few ingredients and the tartness will help cut through all that heavier food eaten earlier. Key lime cheesecake

If I served a vegan cheesecake at thanksgiving, my family would kill me. What they don't know won't kill them. :-) Just buy a cheesecake! There's gotta be a good bakery somewhere!
