21 Cheesecake Recipes From Blueberry Cheesecake to Mini Cheesecakes

Cheesecake works when you want dessert to feel a little more special than the usual pan of sweets. You can go with a fruit-topped slice, a chocolate version, a bar, or a mini cheesecake, depending on what sounds good. Serve one after dinner, pair it with coffee, or cut a few pieces for a dessert plate.

Most of the 5-hour-15-minute total is cooling and chilling, so it suits a make-ahead dinner dessert. Serve chilled with coffee or a few fresh berries.
