I need 3 toppings for a cheesecake I have to make this week. I'm looking for cherry, blueberry and chocolate. Could someone point me in the right direction? I'm not a cheesecake fan and don't know where to start. Thanks!

I personally like pie filling on top of my cheesecake, so I would go for a cherry filling, a blueberry filling and then a chocolate ganache. Allrecipes.com is where I get a lot of my recipes so I would check there first, or here too icon_smile.gif

If you're in a real pinch and can't do fresh fruit toppings, you can use the canned pie fillings/topping. They come in cherry, blueberry, raspberry and wildberry.
You can find them in the baking aisle of the grocery store.

Good luck!

Choc ganache is always a good one. It is just whipping cream and chocolate..very easy.

I would do the same thing. Cherry and Blueberry pie filling then a soft chocolate: ganache or I have even seen people use the Hershey's syrup for ice cream, and it is quite good also!

Personally give me a cheesecake, a can of cherry pie filling, and a fork, and leave me alone! hehe i don't like to share!

I used some fresh blueberries (a pint I believe), then I put them in the blender to puree them. After pureed, then I put them in the microwave for about 2 minutes or until cooked through. I put this on top of a cheesecake and it was delicious. Didn't need any extra sweetener or anything.

I make a white chocolate cheesecake with canned cherry pie filling that is cooked with a little bit of chocolate liqueur and it's delicious. I make it with one can of pie filling and 1/4 cup of Godiva chocolate liqueur, heat over the stove until it's thickened back up a little, and let cool. It's really good.

And, what about a turtle topping for the chocolate one? Heavily drizzle the top with chocolate ganache and caramel, and then top with toasted pecans? It's really popular with my customers.
