Fruit Cheesecakes
Fruit cheesecakes incorporate all the delicious wholesome tastes of various fruit with the decadent deliciousness of creamy cheesecake fillings. They could be baked or no bake but always made great tasting by the addition of fresh fruit and fruit flavors. I honestly can't think of a fruit flavor that would not enhance the taste of cheesecake. I have fond memories of the cherry cheesecakes my mother used to make. Every now and then she would make a blueberry one but I don't think we could have imagined all the ways fruit, domestic as well as exotic, can be used. Fruit is a very popular addition to cheesecakes not only in filling but as a yummy and colorful topping. The taste can be as light or heavy as desired when used in a recipe that has the texture you might desire. Check out the picture above for a mouthwatering example of a fruit cheesecake. Obviously some of the desserts that I am referring to here as fruit cheesecakes are cheesecakes that have fruit either in the filling or are somehow used as a garnish to the almost finished product. I have also included some unbaked ones that also either incorporate the fruit into the filling or as a topping. A plain cheesecake can be dressed up with the addition of fruit or left plain for those that prefer it served that way. Some of the recipes are also convenient bar recipes that add more versatility to the dessert. Fruit is a good addition to the recipes used in the low carb and diabetic cheesecake sections also. Almost any fruit or fruit flavor can create a delicious cheesecake. Even a chocolate cheesecake can be made more decadent by the incorporation of fruit into the recipe. Whether you use fresh fruit or fruit medleys, fruit pie fillings or a creation made from a special recipe, you will have the perfect dessert. As with all of the other cheesecake recipes, the sky is the limit when it comes to what you can end up with. P.S. We all know fruit is good for you...
