Eli's Cheesecake Company added to its collection of cheesecake desserts of all sizes with an all-new Deep-Dish Cheesecake, which reinvents the classic cake with a thick crust. In addition to having a crust that reminds of a Chicago-style deep-dish pizza, the cheesecake, or "dessert pizza," takes inspiration from the beloved savory dish with a deep red strawberry sauce and white chocolate to mimic the look of classic toppings like tomato sauce and shredded cheese.
While the focus of cheesecake is usually the creamy cake section of the dessert, this fun creation offers a new way to experience the dessert just by exaggerating the conventional proportions of the crust.
This sweet reinterpretation of pizza serves eight and ships across the United States from frozen.
