Okay, so walking into a Cheesecake Factory and actually picking one flavor off that menu, we know how overwhelming that list gets, honestly it takes us a minute every single time too.
Where We Always Point People First
So, the Original cheesecake is the one to try if you have never been, plain, dense, and it is really the benchmark every other flavor on that menu gets measured against. From there, Oreo Dream Extreme and the Fresh Strawberry are the two we hear recommended most often by regulars, one leans heavy and chocolatey, the other stays lighter and fruitier.
Now, if you want something a little different, the Red Velvet cheesecake layers actual red velvet cake around the cheesecake filling, and it has become one of their more talked-about options over the years.
But, honestly, you cannot go too wrong here, the whole menu is built around the same rich, dense base recipe the restaurant has used since its beginning. So pick whichever flavor profile sounds good that day, chocolate, fruit, or plain, and you are getting the same quality cheesecake underneath either way.
