"My Classic Cheesecake Dessert Bar is the perfect dessert for anyone who just craves a taste—or two—or three. Different toppings….different bases…this dessert bar went to a family BBQ and it ROCKED! The size was perfect for those who wanted a small dessert yet tiny enough that a few (no names mentioned) had more than one. This is my favourite classic cheesecake recipe - my family has been using for years - with a few tweaks. I went with a vanilla flavoured cheesecake to complement all the different topping flavours but lemon zest and juice could be substituted for the vanilla ingredients based on preference...."
