Update, November 17, 2020: The Cheesecake Factory has shared yet another one of its delicious recipes with us and this time it's one that will please every fan of delicious American Chinese takeout food.
The chain is sharing the recipe for Crispy Crab Wontons as part of the rollout of new menu items called "Timeless Classics." This appetizer is a spin on the always delicious Crab Rangoon and features crab, cream cheese, green onion, and water chestnuts tucked inside a crispy wonton shell. While this dish always tastes best with a side of fried rice and dumplings, you can now make this at home thanks to the Cheesecake Factory dishing out the recipe.
Although frying up your own crispy and creamy treat might seen daunting, it's really not! Follow along with their six-part recipe here and you'll be that much closer to fried food bliss. Don't forget the dipping sauce!
Update, October 7, 2020: True to its word, The Cheesecake Factory has continued to add some delicious recipes to its online cookbook. If you haven't looked in a while, you should know there are all sorts of gems to check out, including a recipe for the chain's beloved California Guacamole Salad.
This towering salad is a fave amongst Cheesecake Factory customers because unlike the wimpy side salads most places give you, this one is a filling whole meal. The recipe is made with three different types of lettuce, as well as ingredients like tortilla chips, corn, black beans, and, of course, guacamole. Though the ingredient list seems long, this makes a meal-worthy salad sure to keep you full, so it's pretty worth it. You can find the whole thing here.
We also noticed that The Cheesecake Factory added a few cheesecake-inspired recipes to its site like Cheesecake S'mores...but before you freak out like we did that the chain was revealing the secrets behind its iconic dessert, these recipes actually use a slice or two of Cheesecake Factory cheesecake as a base. Still, a very fun reason to add an extra slice of cheesecake to your next order! You know you were going to anyway.
Original, April 21, 2020: I, like you, love The Cheesecake Factory. With the chain's delivery and curbside options, we are thankfully never too far away from enjoying all the delicious dishes we love, but sometimes it's, like, 3 a.m. and you have a hankering for Cinnamon Roll Pancakes and you have to fend for yourself. That's where their online cookbook comes in handy.
Yes! I said online cookbook. It turns out the chain shares a ton of its delicious recipes online and you can easily create them in your own home. No, cheesecake is not on the list, but that's probably because it's way better to just leave that one up to the professionals. You CAN, however, find things like Almond-Crusted Chicken Salad, Chicken Bellagio, and Korean Fried Cauliflower on there.
Each listed recipe breaks out into its own page where you can often see a photo of the dish masterfully created by chefs at The Cheesecake Factory. A rep from the company told Insider that every time a batch of new dishes are added to the menu, one of them is added to this online catalogue.
Even if you don't end up making any of these recipes while you're spending more time at home, they're still super fun to click through, and they can even give you some new ideas for what you're going to order from The Cheesecake Factory next time. Plus it's kind of cool to know all that stuff that's in them before you dig in.
