Enjoy fresh, homemade cheesecake at top chains like Maggiano’s and Ruth’s Chris.
Desserts made from scratch are always delicious, especially since most restaurants don’t make their own cakes and pies in-house. Cheesecake is a popular dessert that tastes amazing when it’s baked the same day by a professional, especially when it’s made with quality ingredients and lots of care and attention. A light, creamy, fluffy, and versatile cheesecake is the perfect way to end your meal without leaving you too full. Here are seven restaurants where the cheesecake is baked from scratch.
Pasta House Co.
Pasta House Co. has Strawberry Cheesecake on the menu made from scratch, with or without strawberries. “Our signature recipe, homemade,” the restaurant says. The chain also offers a delicious Lemon Italian Cream Cake and of course, the Classic Italian Tiramisu made with a delicious mascarpone filling and topped with espresso dipped ladyfingers.
Maggiano’s little Italy
Maggiano’s Little Italy has a delicious New York-style cheesecake on the menu made in-house and served with Seasonal Berry Sauce & Fresh Berries. “Each serving of our New York Style Cheesecake is made from scratch—a completely different recipe than Maggiano’s—because dessert is important,” the restaurant said.
Ruth’s Chris
Ruth’s Chris Cheesecake is a creamy cheesecake topped with fresh seasonal berries and a sprinkling of mint. “With a handcrafted, house-prepared selection that ranges from Louisiana-French classics to exciting new creations, you’re sure to end on a sweet note,” says the upscale steakhouse. Chocolate Molten Lava Cake is another popular dessert option.
Junior Restaurant & Bakery
Junior’s Restaurant & Bakery’s award-winning Original New York Plain Cheesecake is made from scratch and shipped across the US “Smooth, creamy, heavenly and delicious. It’s the one that started it all. Our original New York Plain Cheesecake is always baked fresh with a delicious bottom layer of buttery sponge cake,” says the chain.
Uncle Tetsu
Uncle Tetsu’s Japanese cheesecake is amazing and baked from scratch every day—I love how it’s not so much fun as it can be. Real Cheesecake is “the one that started it all,” the chain says. “It’s light, fluffy, and sweet enough. It moves, melts and makes your day.”
The Cheesecake Factory
The Cheesecake Factory makes all of its cheesecakes from scratch (albeit in a dedicated facility rather than on site). This makes it easy for the restaurant to maintain strict quality control over every single dessert on the menu. “I can confirm, their food is really made. Worked there for three years,” said one Redditor.
Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar
Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar offers guests a delicious made-from-scratch New York steak, baked with strawberry red wine sauce and fresh mint. “For dessert we got the New York Cheesecake and the chocolate gooey butter cake. The chocolate cake had an amazing flavor combined with the soft butter on top and the rich caramel drizzle. The New York cheesecake was fluffy like ice and creamy at the same time,” one diner shared.
