Dessert Worth Indulging: Our Cheesecakes

Cheesecake. It's truly the quintessential dessert: it's casual enough to enjoy on a random Tuesday afternoon but fancy enough to impress at any dinner party.

The ingredients themselves are deceptively simple. We use organic cane sugar, cream cheese, sour cream, Madagascar Vanilla, pasture-raised eggs, butter, and Zingerman's graham crackers. Simple enough, right? Our cheesecake truly makes the most of so few ingredients.

Baking a cheesecake, on the other hand, is a much more complicated process. It involves subtle temperature shifts, careful observation, and constant adjustments. In short, as our baker Julie Gelardi explains, it takes awhile to perfect the art of cheesecake crafting. But she has done just that.

That’s why we’ve stocked our desserts cooler with 4” personal-sized cheesecakes that are ready to go whenever you are. Boasting a smooth velvety base and a crumbly graham cracker crust, there's a reason this dessert has become a Simply Fresh staple.

From top left, clockwise: Cheesecake with Chocolate Ganache, Plain Cheesecake, Turtle Cheesecake, and Cheesecake with Strawberry Topping.

This cheesecake is rich and creamy without being overly dense; it's sweet without being overly sugary, and has the perfect ratio of graham cracker to cheesecake. And it comes in four varieties: Plain, Chocolate Ganache, Turtle, or Strawberry. Plus we also feature a gluten-free version, so there’s truly something for everyone. 

The best part about cheesecake is that you don’t have to wait for a special occasion to indulge. Whether you're treating yourself after lunch or bringing something sweet to a gathering, a Simply Fresh cheesecake is the perfect addition to any occasion. We also offer 8" Whole Cheesecakes to please a crowd.
