Strawberry cheese cake or chocolate cheese cake – take your pick from these sweet delights.

Desserts are greatly appreciated globally as delicious quick-time bites and as a consummation of a satisfying meal. And as far as popular desserts go, the cheese cake is among the most wellliked. The quintessential cheese cake is a multi-layered pudding comprising a base tier of traditional cake and an upper tier of basically eggs and cheese (hence the name). These are finally topped off with fruit and other savories constituting a filling, tasty treat. Cheese cakes are available in many flavors – of these the strawberry cheese cake and the chocolate-filled cheese pudding are the most coveted. For a tantalizing insight at these two lip-smacking concoctions, read on.

Cheese cakes imbued with strawberry are a hit especially among children and ladies. Before actually making this strawberry pudding, adequate preparation is vital. You need to have the fundamental ingredients at hand: required portions of butter, icing sugar, vanilla extract, sour cream, cooking cheese, eggs, biscuits, and – of course - fresh strawberries (preferably de-seeded and sliced). Further, dessert-making equipment like a baking tin, tray, spatula, sieve, food blender, bowls, batter bags, and pudding cutlery are a must.

The dessert is commenced by making the crust: a combination of butter, sugar, and biscuits evenly spread on to the baking tin. The soft crust is then put into a preheated oven to bake for 10 minutes at around 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Meanwhile, the filling can be made by mixing warm cooking cheese, sour cream, eggs, and sugar. This filling should be then inserted into the heated crust and the topping added – a smooth mixture of the strawberries and vanilla extract along with more cheese and sugar. One then needs to put the whole cheese cake in the oven for a few minutes to soften the preparation. Lastly, mild refrigeration will result in your scrumptious, ready-to-eat strawberry marvel.

The chocolate cheese cake is equally famous especially as chocolate is the international favorite among sweets. This cheese cake is made along similar lines as the strawberry variety with baking chocolate is used in place of strawberries. For best results, one should use dark chocolate for a richer, deeper taste – it also cools and melts easily. Cocoa powder and artificial essences can be added too. Always remember to finally refrigerate the dessert for a firm cheese cake.

In fact, globally, you will find many versions of the two what with each nation adopting different cooking styles and ingredients. For example, in the U.S.A., such cheese cakes are uniquely made in and named after Pennsylvania, Chicago, New York, and Philadelphia. In North America, it is customary to add essences of lemon, strawberry, and chocolate to these preparations.

Both cheese cake varieties – strawberry and chocolate – are also very versatile as you can prepare them with or without oven use. Or why not make both? Then you can have your cake and eat it too!
