20 Best Cheesecakes For Thanksgiving (2022 Updated)

I thought this would be worth the extreme price tag that is along with it. I have it 2 stars because hubby and son ate it. Cheesecake WAS my absolute favorite thing until I tried this! I personally will stick to the New York “style” cheesecakes you can buy at the grocery stores for around the same price as one payment on this crazy priced item.

They taste way better and you will still have about $40 to work with to get a steak or something along with it! This cake also weighed less than what it was stated which makes the price even worse! It was very small and had a bitter sour taste that also caused me to feel bitter toward qvc for item being SO EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE BEYOND REASON! Runaway from this purchase, don’t make the same mistake I made!.

I am so disappointed. Everytime our NY family visits NYC we hit up Junior’s in Flatbush Brooklyn. This time I went alone and as requested, I made sure to get an assorted frozen cheesecake. I made sure to ask hotel staff to put it in their freezer, kept it in a cooler and it made it to Naples, FL perfectly.

I was totally disgusted to find a long black hair in it. Not sure if it was baked in or maybe whoever assembled the assortment, but what a damn turn off.

When I was in New York I found Juniors Cheesecake. It was the best I have ever had. I was excited to see that QVC was selling it. I bought one and it was the worst cheesecake I ever had. Taste like plastic.

Nothing like Juniors in New York. Very disappointed not to mention it was $60.

I sent this to my very picky mom as an early Christmas gift – an advent calendar of cheesecake so to speak! She liked it for the most part. Didn’t like the apple version, thought it was too soggy. But so far, the rest of the flavors got good marks.

I think it bummed her out she couldn’t complain about all the flavors! The price was good as well. I would recommend this item. And I like that you get a combination of flavors so if you don’t like one, you can go on to the other ones.

Nothing worse than getting a large amount of something you just don’t like.

The Junior’s Cheesecake – Best of Junior’s Sampler Cheesecake was purchased with family in mind for Thanksgiving. Each family member has different tastes and preferences when it comes to desserts. The Best of Junior’s Cheesecake Sampler provides variety and choice in one dessert.

The best part is the superior quality and taste of authentic Junior’s Cheesecake.

I’m a slow learner. I gave it a second chance buying another. Ended up with the same results tasted to old like the company was getting rid of there old stock.

I bought this on a whim at my local Moosejaw and having never tried any of the desserts from Backpacker’s Pantry I decided to try it out. Following the instructions (and ensuring my water was nice and cold) resulted in hands down the best tasting freeze dried dessert I’ve ever had.

It’s not only just good for freeze dried foods–it’s good in comparison to mousse-like desserts I’ve had in restaurants. To say I’m surprised is an understatement. Can’t recommend this enough.

The mix resembled chocolate pudding with a slight cream cheese flavour. It was very runny with a frugal amount of crushed cookie topping. I ended up putting chocolate chunks into this to make it less like a drink but you’d be better off eating pudding cups from the grocery store.

This chocolate cheesecake dessert is a great treat when we are out backcountry camping. I make most our own backpacking food (dehydrated meals) but this is one of those items that is worth the purchase and a great way to treat ourselves with a different dessert.

Make sure you stir the pudding mix really well to incorporate all of the powder. I like to bring some crushed pistachios to top it off. Perfect portion for 2 people.

The recipient of this gift had high praises for flavor, packing and shipping. The recipient is a nun and was thrilled with this surprise pumpkin swirl cheesecake. She shared with the other Sisters and all enjoyed the product.

I will order from your company again. I was not disappointed after reading her input.

I bought this for my family in Ohio to share over Thanksgiving. and let’s put it this way. I’m told there wasn’t a lot of SHARING GOING ON !! Everyone absolutely loved this cake and could not stop eating it, even for breakfast ! I highly recommend it.

you may want to order two !!.

Purchased this for Thanksgiving. Every bite was delicious–including the fresh whipped cream dusted with cinnamon on top. Full of creamy richness, this was a big hit. I have ordered more as gifts. They are well packaged on dry ice and styrofoam coolers.

This cheesecake is so very yummy! It’s kept frozen when you purchase it grom the grocery store when you’re ready to eat it you have to leave it on the table until it’s not frozen. Its best to sit it out about an hour ahead of time.

Unless your family is like mine, we eat it throughout the day night so when we bring it home we put it in the fridge thats where it stays until its gone. LOL. This cheesecake is also great with some ice cream or you can add some fruits some whipcream.

I buy this brand all the time me my entire family love it. My husband I both have been eating this brand since we were kids now our kids enjoy it too. I definitely recommend you try this out for yourself, I promise you want be disappointed.

Perfect sharable size for after dinner. It is smooth and creamy and you can add any toppings you would like to it. That way everyone can have it their way. Compares well to other cheesecakes. I would have again.

I would recommend.

CHEESECAKE IS AN AMAZING DESSERT. THIS IS ONE ITEM THAT I WOULD BUY WHEN I DIDN’T FEEL LIKE MAKING MY OWN CHEESECAKE. IT IS NOT AS GOOD AS THE REAL THING BUT IT STILL TASTES GOOD. I GET THIS PLAIN ONE SO THAT I CAN TOP IT WITH ANY TOPPING THAT I WANT TO GIVE IT THE EXTRA FLAVOR.

I love cheesecake. This one takes cheesecake to an entirely new level. I first saw it in my food store, they were selling it in huge individual slices. I was like “what kind of amazing food of the gods is this?” Then I saw it for sale on QVC.

Just as delicious and exactly the same as the Juniors from the food store. We bought the whole cake on QVC, and then used our food saver to individually freeze each slice (because my husband and I split one slice).

Everyone loves this. The crumbs on the top are so yummy and the cake (yes cake) is delicious and then the cheesecake part is wonderful. Not a traditional cheesecake, but it is unique and very, very, good!.

I am a recent Junior’s customer (ordered a strawberry, blueberry cheesecake almost 20 years ago, but didn’t like it) and this cheesecake was delicious. I don’t know if people zap their cheesecake in the wave, but I do.

It is so very creamy. I also am a huge cinnamon lover, and while this cheesecake has a decent amount of cinnamon, I add more to mine. I also add sliced cooked pears or banana slices (sometimes cooked).

It’s a huge hit at my home!.

Cheesecakes are my go-to dessert. I probably bake a dozen at Christmas for gifts. Baking a cheesecake with a cake layer is challenging. The cake is a bit bland, but it has a great texture and the topping is very good.

The cheese part was surprisingly dry and uninspiring compared to the plain Junior’s cheesecake.

This is the best Cheese cake that you can buy , I have tried many store bought Cheese cakes and none have compared to this Cheese Cake Factory Cheese cake. This is better than the local bakery that makes supposedly homemade cheese cakes , it’s even better than I can make and it saves a lot of work and time.

This Cheese cake is smooth , creamy with a very nice tasting graham cracker crust that’s not too thick and it has plenty of great real cheese cake flavor unlike most store bought cheese cakes, this is a REAL cheese cake made with real cream cheese and not a whole bunch of other added ingredients.

I could eat half the Cheese cake in one sitting it’s so good. I absolutely love it. I have had to throw others out as I couldn’t eat them they were not good nor smooth, creamy and didn’t even taste like Cheese cake this does for sure.

Best tasting store bought cheesecake I’ve ever had. And I’ve had them all. Juniors has nothing on this. It comes pre-sliced, which was nice. Topped my slice with strawberries. Perfection. Buy it -you won’t regret it!.

The New York Cheesecake was absolutely Terrible. It had a really wonderful crust but, that flavor of country crock butter spread, instead of anything remotely close to New York cheesecake; was disgusting.

It took me about 3 bites to recognize that fake butter taste. My roommate made some toast this morning and I had a half piece of toast. Dead to rights; the same exact flavor as this truly disappointing, insult to New York Cheesecake’s across the board.

Bummer too. Was hoping for something worth it’s claim. New York Cheesecake; this was Not. 👎.

OMMMMMMGGGGGG! Do this is the BEST cheesecake that I’ve ever had! Ans I cook! I was expecting some “dairy replacement” taste, and just be lucky that I found a dairy free cheesecake. Boy was I wrong! It was silky, creamy, chocolatey, and AMAZZZING! I will DEFINITELY be getting more of these, and can’t wait to try the other flavors! I recently found out that I have a “sensitivity “ to dairy.

;( so I’m pretty bummed. but glad to know that I have some serious options with Daiya! Hey daiya! Feel free to have me try out some products for you! I’m all over the place on TIK TOK Instagram! 🔥❤️💃🏽 @daiya #daiya.

It’s ok honestly. This was my first time having dairy-free cheesecake so I wasn’t sure what to expect but it’s not bad. It doesn’t taste exactly like regular cheesecake but close enough I guess. I will say that the strawberry flavour tastes a bit fake though…I expected more of a fresh star berry taste.

Still a good enough substitute especially if I’m trying to stay away from dairy.

I have purchased multiples of this pumpkin cheesecake for gifts and parties for YEARS. Each year the pumpkin swirl volume increases and the cheesecake portion decreases. Even my friends that I have gifted this to, have made similar comments that the recipe is NOT as good as it once was.

So rather than 10 or more as in previous years, this year I buying only one to just see how much it has changed for this year.

This is absolutely the best cheesecake I’ve ever had. I’ve has every flavor from cheesecake factory. Like all. Love this 1. Wish I had room in my freezer so I could buy a bunch and use it throughout the year.

I wish membersmark would supply this year round.

Each year the recipe changes and this year they missed the mark! Sad it’s going to get tossed I used to enjoy this and kept on hand for guests. Not anymore, parts of the crust were soggy and other areas so hard it was like old hard dirt.

Maybe next year will be better.

I have no complaints about the cheese cake. The shipping is another matter. They use UPS and after my package had been delivered and completely thawed out I tracked my package that left NJ. The problem is they do not pack this in dry ice.

They use polystyrene container with a cold gel pack. I called Juniors and asked if the cheese cake was frozen when it left their store. Yes it was. I suggested they rethink their packaging and the carrier.

When you are shipping a frozen product to the southern states, a gel pack isn’t going to do it , in the hotter months. Once the cheese cake arrived to the UPS area for my town, My cheese cake was then on UPS truck from 8:17am and delivered to my house around 3pm.

It was left to sit there for (in the hot sun ) three hours as the door bell was not rung. QVC sent me a replacement cheese cake and had I not been vigilant the same thing would have occurred with the replacement which was cold but had thawed.

Juniors appear to only dry ice certain products. $60- is a lot of money. I called UPS and complained as the package explains what it is. I called Juniors and complained. So for those that live in the southern states take note.

I am a fan of Juniors cheesecakes. For years I have been ordering Juniors from QVC for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, Mothers Day. Always delivered on time and in good condition. I have no complaints regarding QVC.

However, Juniors WHAT HAPPENED! This Pumpkin Cheesecake was awful. Dried out, no taste, not creamy. We cut three small slices for Thanksgiving dessert, it was awful. We through the cheesecake out.

I got my cheesecake last week. I see its been around a long time by the dates on the feedback but it is fabulous. A little crumbly and no crust that I can see but I throw the crust away anyway. Its nice and heavy and dense and not like pudding, the way cheesecake is supposed to be.

The flavor is great. Happy I got it to get my pumpkin cheesecake fix.

Regular cheesecake was just eh, but the pumpkin were super yummy! Not bakery quality, but awesome value for the price. Love that they are frozen and bite-sized, so you can serve all of them for a group or just defrost two at a time for one person!.

When defrosted the pumpkin one was soft and mushy, almost pudding like. The regular one was firm. I would recommend eating them out of freezer with just a short defrost time.

These are more like a mousse texture than thick cheesecake, but delicious nonetheless. I take a few piece out at a time from the freezer and thaw them on the counter. Takes maybe 15 mins to thaw out.

So convenient!.

My son has come back to the United States from overseas to his home in Baltimore. My son & his lovely wife were going to celebrate his 30th birthday with friends. I sent him a Collins Bakery Chocolate Cake and a Cheese Cake to celebrate with.

Ty called me the next day to thank me for the sweets and told me that everyone ate it all. They wanted to know where it came from. I’m a west Texas boy and my son is a Oklahoma born. Our GGrandparents & Grandparents always had fruitcake from Collins Bakery when we visited.

You won’t find any other better.

I loved the New York Creamy Cheesecake. The only issue I saw was the size was smaller than it looked in pictures. Taste was excellent. Only 8 slices per cake or four sides per side. I think if you can make it slightly larger so it can give 10 to 12 slices a cake it would be better.

Do not increase the price that much either. ‘.

I ordered this cheesecake online from China as a holiday gift for my close friends in PA. In subsequent emails to me, they mentioned twice how good it was. I quote. “that cheesecake was amazing”. I’m happy that I selected the Collin Street Bakery, and have saved you in my favorites for future orders.

(I’ll need to try one for myself if I can ever get home. ).

Was hesitant to order because I’m very picky about cheesecake. I would rather do without than eat a subpar cheesecake. Boy was I pleasantly surprised! The crust is so fresh and tasty. Absolutely perfect spice in the crust.

The cheesecake is creamy and so delicious. I highly recommend. Better than Cheesecake Factory.

Although my spouse likes this cake, all I can taste is cinnamon. Traditional NY Cheesecake does NOT contain cinnamon. Cinnamon is a powerful spice, so in cheesecake, the delicate flavour of cream cheese is ruined by being overpowered by the taste of cinnamon.

If you happen to like your cheesecake to taste like cinnamon, you will love this one.

The cheesecake was very tasty, but the bottom of the container it was packed in was broken in several places and there was no way to store it in the fridge on the plate. It arrived upside down and only the hard freezing kept it from messing up the top.

It slid off the silver piece under the cake when I went to cut it. Figure out the packaging and you’ll have a 5-star product!.

This will always be old faithful. We actually bought this for thanksgiving its so good. I can’tt tell you how many times ive ate this cheesecake out of the container with a fork lol whenever I want to treat myself with a dessert is get this cheese cake.

I pick this over the deli cheesecakes. 1. Its way cheaper. 2. It was a bunch of strawberry’s and filling on the top not just drizzle like the ones in the deli. The crust is amazing graham cracker and it tastes homemade.

All you have to do is defrost?!.

I bought the Gourmet Cheesecake sampler as a gift to send. The recipients were surprised and very happy with my gift. They both like cheesecake and the sampler was perfect. They got to enjoy 4 different flavors.

They loved all the flavors, commenting, it was a very good tasting cheesecake. p. s. after I placed my order, I received an e-mail letting me know my order was placed. Then another e-mail came letting me know it was shipped and a tracking # so I could easily follow the tracking.

All went so smooth. I would order from this place again. I was also pleased with the price. Plus they gave me a promo code so I could get a discount on the cheesecake. Doesn’t get better than that.

I am very happy with the gift. The cheesecake was delivered on time. Friends tell me it was delicious. My reason for 3 stars is that your products are very expensive and I really need to watch how I spend my fixed income.

I sent this product to my daughter and my mother for a Mother’s Day treat and they both said it was delicious. I also had the opportunity to try a slice and it was so creamy and delicious. Would definitely buy again.

Box said “No high fructose corn syrup” but ingredients include “Corn Syrup”. Also molasses (?), non-fat dry milk, modified food starch, diglycerides, sodium phosphate, Xanthan gum, barley flour, sodium alginate, and other strange ingredients.

Also box stated: May Be Produced With Genetic Engineering. Texture was too soft and taste was very bland. Hardly tasted of cream cheese OR strawberries. Poor quality. Would not buy it again.

Cheesecake should be made with all natural ingredients. This isn’t. Go with Eli’s! 🙂

Cheesecake is very good. Fresh as homemade without all the work. Love it!

I purchased this cheesecake to celebrate my daughter becoming a certified electrical engineer. Cheesecake is one of her favorite desserts. This cheesecake was one of the biggest disappointments I have ever purchased from Sam’s, and that’s saying a lot.

After having dinner, we each had a piece, and as we both bit into our slice of cheesecake, we looked at each other with a weird expression. I asked her if her’s tasted a little off, she replied, “It tastes DISGUSTING!” She then asked me what I thought, and I replied, “It tastes like metallic and wet dog at the same time.

” We threw those pieces out and tried two other pieces. They had the same flavor. Before throwing the entire cheesecake out, we just happened to taste the part furthest from the center. It tasted fine.

We then realized that from the center to the outside edge, half of each piece had a HORRIBLE flavor that can only be described as a coppery, wet dog taste that was VERY unpalatable. 0/10, would NEVER purchase again.

Not even worth trying to get our money back, just threw it out. VERY glad neither of us got sick. We have learned our lesson with Member’s Mark products. They are at best 50/50 with quality. This cheesecake was LITERALLY 50/50.

50% was okay, 50% was DISGUSTING!.

What a wonderful cheesecake! The graham cracker crust isn’t soggy like in so many other cheesecakes. The cost of the cake makes it reasonable enough to buy two at a time. I buy one to serve and one to go home with my family when they leave.

Sams has a truly great bakery and you will be hard pressed to find a better cheesecake anywhere. The creamy texture is sublime. Buy this cake—you won’t be sorry!.

Love this cake, precut so much neater then when I cut to serve. Bought an extra for the freezer. Now, I can either enjoy a slice anytime or it’s ready for the next gathering. Thank you Sam’s! Also love the fast, convenient, friendly super duper associates that gather, deliver n place in my vehicle, no matter what the weather or time.

You all are the greatest. Medford NY Sam’s Club!!!!.

DELICIOUS! OUTSTANDING! PERFECT & DELICIOUS! Those were the responses I received from my gift recipients this crazy year: Blueberry Cheesecake, Pecan Pie and Chocolate Pie! My dad had a long tradition of buying from Collin Street Bakery Today, I continue such in his memory! His OUTSTANDING favorites included the Fruit Cake and Pecan Pie.

This year, I ordered the chocolate pie for our (belated) Thanksgiving -Christmas and New Year celebrations with our daughter, a (busy) healthcare worker! Thank you for the treats! All were enjoyed and appreciated for its quality and perfection.

I was surprisingly disappointed. Though the texture was good, the taste was not. It was extremely bland and lacked the taste of a simple blueberry cheesecake. At almost $28, I expected a larger cheesecake or at the least one that had eye appeal.

The Blueberry Cheesecake was a gift to my mother-in-law for her 104th Birthday. SHE ABSOLUTELY LOVED THE CHEESECAKE!!! She received it on her special day as I requested and she even ate it for breakfast the next day.

She said it was a real TREAT! Thank you Collin Street Bakery.

I wanted to get these for my family for Valentines Day but unfortunately every Sam’s where I lived didn’t have any in stock so that ruined my plans for this day. Fast forward to last Sunday I had to drive a ways to see if that Sam’s had the cheesecake and lo’ and behold they did.

If’s 3 of us and I was only going to get 2 packs but my brother-in-law stated it would be uneven so I ended up buying 3. I wish I hadn’t done that because one: the expiration date was really short. They were made on the day I purchased them but they needed to be eating within 4 days.

There’s 8 in here which meant I had to eat 2 a day if I didn’t want these to go to waste. It’s my fault for not checking the date. I love brownies and I love anything turtle related so when I ate these I was so shocked about how sweet these two were!! My brother-in-law became a type 2 diabetic a few years ago after getting the flu so I hope these don’t affect him because of how many needs to be eaten w/o going to waste.

This is why these get three stars. Two are too sweet and you have to eat them fast!.

I thought these would be so much better if they would just lessen the sugar content. It’s not so much because of the toppings, the cheesecake part itself, is overly sweet in my opinion. As a comparison, I really enjoy the Cheesecake Factory cheesecakes.

I don’t feel that those cheesecakes are made too sweet. These Sam’s mini cheesecakes, are beautifully decorated. I think they would be perfect for a special occasion or party, for those that don’t mind the sweetness level.

I am bummed because I thought this would be a more affordable option to the delicious mini cheesecakes that I love to eat from Whole Foods. I feel most people probably would enjoy them. Personally, I found a sweetness level to be overpowering.

Very tasty already portioned into 8 desserts. Cheesecake is my favorite dessert. These have great toppings. This lasts about a week in my refrigerator. Brownie topping is deee-licious!! Highly recommend.

Graham cracker crust is just like normal crust for New York cheesecake. Just wonderful. I’ve bought it twice already. If indecisive is over brownie or cheesecake dessert-this is both with great $$.
