The holiday season means get-togethers with family and friends and, equally as important, food and drinks! That is why we are creating easy and beautiful plus extremely delicious recipes for you for this holiday season starting with these Deconstructed Cheesecakes. They are perfect for any type of gathering; serve it on fancy parfait cups for a more elegant look or mini mason jars for a more casual gathering.
We’ve topped our cheesecakes with caramel, cherry and peach pie fillings made with our Hey SHUGA! Cane Syrup but you can top them with any type of fruit, chocolate or nuts you like.
