We all know that cheesecake tastes great when topped with cherries or strawberries, especially when that cheesecake is made with Philly.

Give your normal fruit flavors a rest and get a load of these top 5 fruit cheesecakes.

Before you start pulling those strawberries off your cheesecake, try this idea instead. Add a few blueberries and raspberries on top and swirl in a splash of Amaretto. Presto change-o, you’ve just updated a classic.

Luscious Lemon Cheesecake
Add the crisp taste of lemon to your cheesecake; top with lemon zest and wake up your tastebuds with a refreshing zing.

Low-Fat Tropical Dream Cheesecake
