When making the Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake , add fresh blueberries to the mix and a can of blueberries to the top of the cheesecake. This will liven up the blueberry flavor and make a beautiful presentation.

To add a special touch to the Tiramisu Cheesecake , add shaved chocolate to the top of the cheesecake. It looks great and adds a sweet flavor to the mix.

You can do a lot with the Pineapple/Coconut Cheesecake Mix . Try adding orange peel and coconut to the mix and topping it off with a can of crushed pineapple. This will really bring out the flavor of the cheesecake.
