National Cheesecake Day!

I would just like to thank whomever came up with the idea to celebrate July 30th as National Cheesecake Day.

Pure Brilliance!

Cheesecake is one of my very favorite desserts, although I don’t get to have it very often because my husband once gorged himself on it and now he doesn’t like it anymore.

Which is probably good for my waistline, but occasionally I get a craving for the creamy, delicious, cool, rich decadence of a delicious slice of cheesecake.

Fried Cheesecake

Have you ever had a fried cheesecake?  Once upon 8+ years ago during my restaurant management days, we used to take those giant burrito size flour tortillas, drizzle them with chocolate sauce, wrap them around a slice of cheesecake, drop them in the fryer and fry until golden brown and crisp.  Serve on a plate with fresh fruit and a dusting of powdered sugar; heavenly.

Do you need some ideas for recipes to celebrate National Cheesecake Day?

Let me tempt you:

• Chocolate Dipped Cheesecake Pops
• Mini Cheesecakes
• Pumpkin Cheesecake with Cream Cheese Icing
• As a Mix-in for an Ice Cream Party

What’s your favorite way to eat Cheesecake?
