As we were taking a look around the interwebs, we found so many amazing, drool-worthy cheesecake recipes to try, it is truly overwhelming. But, we persevered and picked out some of the craziest, most delicious varieties we could find including some other unique ways to enjoy cheesecake like bars, brownies and even ice pops. Gluten free or vegan? Yeah, we even found recipe for you guys.
