Pumpkin Season is officially underway, folks! Although we technically still have a few weeks before Fall actually begins, the cinnamon and pumpkin foods and drinks are out, and they’re out everywhere, including The Cheesecake Factory!

But, that doesn’t necessarily mean anything when it comes to our favorite seasonal foods. Here, we’ll be discussing some seasonal menu items from The Cheesecake Factory that we wish we had access to all year round!

What’s your favorite seasonal menu item from The Cheesecake Factory?

1. Pumpkin Pecan Cheesecake

Time Available: From September

Just looking at the picture of this cheesecake alone makes my mouth water; however, I’m sure it’ll be super duper sweet, so if you’re not a fan of that (which I personally am), then I’d probably steer clear of this one.

It’s got a caramel nut topping, pumpkin-flavored cheesecake on top, pecan pie filling on the bottom, and a classic, delicious and most importantly, buttery crust. What more could you want?!

2. Peppermint Bark Cheesecake

Time Available: After Thanksgiving (and through the Christmas Holidays)

First of all, this is one hefty piece of cheesecake, let me tell ya. Second of all, it’s got a white chocolate mousse on top, and personally, I think that white chocolate goes the absolute best with almost anything peppermint-flavored. Don’t get me wrong, the dark chocolate chunks in the actual cheesecake bark are delicious, but white is truly and ultimately the best!

Editorial Note: According to a rep for the Cheesecake Factory, this flavor will not be offered in 2021. We do not know if or when this flavor may be back.

3. Fire-Roasted Fresh Artichoke

Time Available: Unknown (Depends on the actual (and fresh) Artichoke Season)

Although there’s no picture of this on their website, it does sound delicious. I’d personally choose a different dip to go with it, other than the garlic dipping sauce; however, if I ever try this particular appetizer/dish, I surely won’t knock it (officially) until I try it (officially).

Plus, I’m a sucker for a good artichoke (stuffed, roasted, etc), so I’m certainly all in with this one!

4. Pumpkin Cheesecake

Time Available: From September

This cheesecake is the same pumpkin cheesecake that’s in the pumpkin pecan version of this same dessert. It’s delicious, sweet, pumpkin-y, and the perfect amount of warmth-flavor that a cold dessert can truly hold.

Don’t live near  The Cheesecake Factory, but live in the Schaumburg/Bartlett, Illinois area, try ordering a delicious homemade cheesecake from Joey Does Dessert! You can go ahead and just thank me later!

Honorable Mention

Lemon Meringue Cheesecake – While this is available all year round, it’s the most perfect Summer-themed flavor to satisfy any sweet tooth, with the perfect amount of creaminess!
