When Canadians were asked if their holiday cheesecakes were Anna Olson-worthy, they were up for the challenge! <\/span><\/p>\n

As the first judge for Tre Stelle\u2019s Cheesecake Showdown, Anna Olson put Canadian talent to the test, crowning the best cheesecake recipes that will make this season a little sweeter. <\/span><\/p>\n

Renowned as the star ingredient for the cleanest and creamiest desserts, Tre Stelle Cream Cheese makes holiday cheesecakes better because it\u2019s made with just four all-natural ingredients.  It\u2019s the better choice for holiday baking and since it\u2019s contains zero fillers or stabilizers, it\u2019s a choice you can feel good about. <\/span><\/p>\n

Taking the crown was Maggie Frith\u2019s <\/span>Triple Gingerbread Cheesecake<\/b> which proved to be the ultimate festive flavour of the season! To get full recipes from the finalists, visit <\/span>@TreStelleCheese<\/span><\/a> or download <\/span>BitesbyTreStelle<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
