I LOVE cheesecake. You all knew that by now though I’m sure. It’s the one recipe I make, and make well. When I was given the assignment to bring dessert to Thanksgiving this week, of course Cheesecake was the first thing on the menu! Thanks to a fun blueberry picking outing earlier this year, this quickly became a Blueberry Cheesecake. 

When we moved here, I didn’t realize just how much Mark’s family was going to love my cheesecake. While I normally make 2 or 3 a year, I’ve now made about 3 or 4 in the last 5 months! I can’t blame them of course, rather I rejoice. After cutting into the Blueberry Cheesecake last Thursday Mark’s nephew sat and just stared at it – hoping for a second piece, but knowing he had to wait for everyone else to get dessert. 

While talking with my sister-in-law’s friend who joined us for the Thanksgiving feast,  she told me cheesecake is hard to make – or at least sounds intimidating. I used to think the same thing! Then I started making it, and found it’s really not all that bad. Truth be told, I actually find no-bake cheesecakes to be a little harder to get right. I’ve had some that were more like a pudding then a cake. My baked cheesecakes on the other hand, always turn out.  

To make cheesecake even easier, I got a new pan from The Love Cooking Company. The Push Pan is similar to a spring form pan, but without the spring. With a silicone lined removable base, taking the cheesecake out of the pan was so simple. You can watch me do it in the slideshow above! Ahh, how cool was that, huh?
