While this cheesecake is delicious on its own, I love to add all sorts of toppings to round it out. Some of my favorites include: - Strawberries. Make this simple strawberry syrup to pour over your cheesecake along with fresh cut strawberries. - Other fresh berries (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries) go great on top of the cheesecake too, just make - the syrup with whatever berries you like! - Another topping I like to use in the fall is a fresh apple compote. - For a non-fruity way to rock your cheesecake, try topping with hot fudge, chocolate chips, chocolate shavings, or a cocoa powder dusting for just a hint of chocolate. - For one less thing to make, top your cheesecake with cherry pie filling or lemon curd. Both of these items can be found already made in your grocery's baking aisle. - A caramel or butterscotch topping work great too. - For the holidays, I like to make this cheesecake with a teaspoon of peppermint extract in with the cheese, then top with hot fudge and crushed candy canes. - For that matter, you can take any of your favorite candy bars or candy and crush and add to the top of this cheesecake. Add to the top and press the candy in before refrigerating to ensure they stick to the top.
