The Cheesecake Factory Has a New Cheesecake That Tastes Like Summer Sunshine (Trust Me, I Tried It)

It’s a peach cheesecake swirled with peach pieces, atop a vanilla crust and finished with raspberry sauce. If that’s not enticing enough as is, know that 25 cents from every slice of the confection sold over the next year will go to Feeding America, a U.S.-based hunger relief org that provides millions of meals to hungry people across the country.

There’s more: If you sign up to be a Cheesecake Rewards member by July 30, you (and up to five additional dinner guests) can score a half-price slice of any cheesecake during the holiday. You can also score other perks, like complimentary slices of cheesecake, access to reservations and more—all without a points system.

But back to the important stuff—the new cheesecake! I had one delivered to my door, frozen, so I could taste it ahead of the launch. Once it thawed in the fridge, I topped it with a generous drizzle of sweet-tart raspberry sauce for good measure.

Having tasted every cheesecake on The Cheesecake Factory’s menu (no, really), I can vouch for this one’s deliciousness. It’s rich, the peach is plentiful and it’s not overly heavy like some of the sweeter cheesecakes in the lineup.

Compared to last year’s summer launch, the Triple Berry Bliss, this peach cheesecake is the easy winner. I loved the pink and white chocolate curls on the berry number, but felt like I could’ve done without the vanilla cake and frosting in favor of more berries, even some crushed freeze-dried berries on the top for a punchy finishing touch.

The peach treat was more balanced and sweet-tart, driving home its stone fruit namesake with every bite. Factor in the salty edge of the crust and cake crumbs on the rim, plus the sour raspberry garnish, and you have a summer masterpiece for the books.
