Ranking Frozen Store-Bought Cheesecakes From Worst To Best
BY SARA KLIMEK
6. Great Value
If you need cheesecake in a pinch, there are plenty of great store-bought options, but Great Value’s Whipped Cheesecake shouldn’t be your first choice.
The Great Value whipped cheesecake looks delicious but tastes more like a can of Reddi-wip sprayed into a premade pie shell, with no flavor depth or creamy consistency.
5. Junior's Cheesecake
Despite the label touting it was "Voted No. 1" by New York Magazine, this cheesecake is a wreck from the first slice — which is likely to crumble.
The cheesecake has a paper-thin crust, which not only ruins the structural integrity but also leaves flavor off-balance, with nothing to contrast the rich filling.
4. Sara Lee
Despite a higher price point, the Sara Lee Classic Cheesecake is smaller than others on this list, and it lacks the quality to back up that price.
The cake has a lumpy, soft texture, while the graham cracker crust is powdery, creating a loose, crumbly cake that looks unappealing despite a passable flavor.
