The Cheesecake Factory has over 35 kinds of cheesecake, with flavors ranging from peppermint to pumpkin to peanut butter, but if we’re really being honest with ourselves, our favorite is the simple classic. Creamy cheesecake in a graham cracker crust— does it really get any better? And while we love visiting the chain to get a piece, we’re not always in the mood to brave the crowds or sift through the rest of their gargantuan menu. If you feel the same way, then you’re going to adore this recipe from POPSUGAR Food just as much as we do! Their copycat recipe is just as good – if not better! – and topped with a blueberry compote that takes it to the next homemade level. Check it out!
