Allow us to get cheesy for a moment.
We know that creamy, gooey, stretchy cheese is uniquely addictive – even scientists say so!
So we figured, why deprive yourself? Think about it – you love cheesecake, right? There's something about the rich, decadent and ever so slightly sharp, savory flavor that really jazzes up your palate, right? Well, don't limit yourself. There are so many delicious cheesy desserts out there. Try some of our favorites:
1. Goat Cheese Custard with Strawberries in Red Wine Syrup
This luscious custard is creamy, soft and smooth, with crazy good sweet, sour and tangy flavors. If you're not into strawberries, blackberries or raspberries are great too.
2. Baked Pecorino Cheese with Honey and Walnuts
If you've never baked cheese before, you absolutely must give this a try. The walnuts and honey absorb into the cheese and caramelize slightly for a truly rich and unique treat.
3. Goat Cheese Cheesecake
Add a little goat cheese to make that tangy flavor shine. Top with vanilla pineapple rum compote to take this to the next level.
4. Deep-Dish Apple Pie with Cheddar Crust
As American as apple pie… and… cheddar cheese?

This slightly-sweet tart is bursting with perfectly complementary flavors. Give it a try.
6. One Bowl Mascarpone Brownies
Got some mascarpone? Whip up some brownies with it! You'll be amazed by the rich, creamy texture.
7. Honey Ricotta Cheesecake
Light, floral, and creamy, this cheesecake is a real crowd-pleaser and is a great change of pace if you want to switch up your cheesecake. Add a little lemon zest if you want to highlight the floral flavors even more.
