But the toppings are what make it awesome. My secret is that, unlike mom, I don't pour out a can of store-bought pie filling on top if it. I make my own blueberry or cherry topping. MUCH more tasty.
For cherry chocolate I like to use an Oreo crust instead of graham crackers and maybe sprinkle some good-quality flaked semi-sweet chocolate in with the cherry topping. I might experiment with putting chocolate chips into the cheesecake mix before baking next time.
Another one I like is making a "turtle" cheesecake - Oreo crust, caramel and chocolate sundae topping and pecans drizzled over the top.
Aaaaand... now I want cheesecake.
