I love a good cheesecake; it’s creamy and thick, and the bottom layer is crunchy. Mmm! When I was in New York in 2009, I was told I wasn’t a real tourist until I tried the New York Cheesecake.

Yap, it was good! But over the years, so many different flavours and unique styles have arisen, from Oreo cheesecake to mint and honeycomb. Here are some uniquely impressive CCs you have to try.
