We Try Every Cheesecake at the Cheesecake Factory
We've boldly gone where no others have gone before, and without medical assistance.

Seious EatsWhat makes a good cheesecake?
It's smooth and creamy, just sweet enough, with a hint of tartness. If there's a crust, it adds something extra without overwhelming the taste of the cheesecake itself. And it's rich enough to seem a bit decadent, without going down like a cement pour. You should want to keep eating - at least, for more than one bite.

How to come up with 33 different versions of cheesecake? The Cheesecake Factory gets pretty creative, though the long list breaks down into a few basic constructions:

• Topped Cheesecake
  Variations on the classic, adding toppings and sauces like strawberries, fudge, and the like.
• Flavored Cheesecake
  Other flavors added to the cheesecake batter itself, such as chocolate or key lime, to make the base cheesecake taste different.
• Layered Cheesecake
  Layers of mousse or thick crusts accounting for a large portion of the height and thickness of the cake; you might also see Oreos, ladyfingers, or caramel.
• Layered Cake-CheesecakeA towering version with cake layers interspersed with the cheesecake.

Within those categories you'll find pretty much every possible permutation. Looking for candy? There's a cheesecake with Reese's, one with Snickers, and another with Butterfinger. More of a straight-up chocolate person? There's an intense Chocolate Mousse version with shaved chocolate on top, a Chocolate-Raspberry Truffle cheesecake for those who crave raspberry-filled bonbons, and for the truly obsessed, a luxurious Godiva cheesecake with a layer of dark chocolate ganache. There are a number of cheesecakes that that riff on classic desserts: a fresh banana cream version for banana pudding lovers, a red velvet cake cheesecake, a retro pineapple upside-down cheesecake, and an ambitious carrot cake cheesecake with cheesecake in the place of frosting. (Except there's also frosting.)

The Highlights
With such a wide range of options, you'll probably want to narrow your order down by genre: are you into fruit, chocolate, candy, cake, or coffee? Once you've narrowed that down, you can zero in on the winners.

• Best for Chocoholics: Godiva Chocolate Cheesecake
• Best for Fruit Lovers: Lemon Raspberry Cream Cheesecake
• Best Presentation: Chocolate Tuxedo Cream Cheesecake
• Actually Like Another Dessert: Key Lime Cheesecake
• Coffee Addict Award: Tiramisu Cheesecake
• Most Decadent: Reese's Peanut Butter Chocolate Cake Cheesecake
• Best Cheesecake for Cake Lovers: 30th Anniversary Chocolate Cake Cheesecake
