Move aside, fresh strawberry! While you may be one of The Cheesecake Factory’s most popular cheesecakes, there’s a new cheesecake in town. According to Business Wire, The Cheesecake Factory is celebrating National Cheesecake Day in the best way it knows how — with a new cheesecake, of course. The latest dessert to join the ever-growing menu is the classic Basque cheesecake, which originates from San Sebastian, Spain.
Unlike the chain’s “Original” cheesecake, which is a smooth, dense and creamy cake, Basque cheesecakes are typically light, crustless, and burnt on the top, as noted by South China Morning Post and Bon Appétit. The Cheesecake Factory’s version will include the same custard center and caramel flavors as a traditional Basque cheesecake, but it will also have its own spin to it. This new menu item will also be topped with whipped cream and fruit, as seen above.
On top of a new cheesecake debut, The Cheesecake Factory will also be donating funds to Feeding America in honor of National Cheesecake Day. For every slice of cheesecake sold, $1 will be donated to this national nonprofit on July 30, along with an extra 25 cents for slices of the new Basque flavor.
