National Cheesecake Day falls on July 30th and The Cheesecake Factory is celebrating this very special holiday with its new Brownie Crunch Choc-a-Lot Cheesecake and a pair of limited-time promotions.
Joining the chain’s existing lineup of more than 30 cheesecake varieties, the new Brownie Crunch Choc-a-Lot Cheesecake is a hybrid treat that combines the best of creamy cheesecake and a fudgey chocolate brownie. This new dish consists of a milk and white chocolate marbled cheesecake filling served on a crunchy toffee brownie crust. The cheesecake is also studded with Heath Bar pieces and semi-sweet chocolate chips, and is topped with a buttery Heath Bar-streusel.
In addition to the new Brownie Crunch Choc-a-Lot Cheesecake, The Cheesecake Factory is also heading into August by donating 25 cents from every slice of Brownie Crunch Choc-a-Lot Cheesecake sold now through July 2027 to Feeding America.
