This is one of my family's favorite desserts. It takes a little time to prepare, but well worth it. We use two packages for three people. The texture is velvety and the topping is really good. Enjoy!

Comments about Backpacker's Pantry Dark Chocolate Cheesecake For Two:

I couldn't wait to review this and then noticed that I already did once. Just had it again this weekend and it is still the best camping food dessert I've ever had. I'm so shocked people find this unflavorful. I love it! Thick, creamy, sweet. Can't wait to go camping again so I can have more!

Comments about Backpacker's Pantry Dark Chocolate Cheesecake For Two:

This is HANDS DOWN the single best camping dessert I have EVER HAD!!! I cannot recommend it highly enough. We had also packed some camping Brownies (which were awful) and the plain ole cheesecake and in the end, we both agreed that we wished we had just packed more of this. So creamy and sweet and delicious. You will be trying to lick the bag clean! As for the con that it isn't health: C'mon, it's CHEESECAKE! You know that it isn't healthy! Backpacker's Pantry, Please don't ever discontinue this one!!!

Comments about Backpacker's Pantry Dark Chocolate Cheesecake For Two:

After reading the great reviews on this, I bought a pack and took it on a recent motorcycle camping trip. I couldn't wait to try it. I can't tell you how disappointed I was. It was easy to make, but the taste was terrible. It didn't taste anything like cheesecake, and the chocolate taste was off. I threw it away, and my sweet tooth went unsatisfied, because I didn't have any other sweets with me.

Comments about Backpacker's Pantry Dark Chocolate Cheesecake For Two:

This was super easy to make and tasted very good. It was very creamy and light, tasted just like chocolate cheesecake. The only thing that bothered me was that the packaging said to sprinkle the chocolate graham cracker crust over the top. There wasn't any graham cracker crust provided It seems that this wasn't included with the package. Regardless, I would highly recommend this dessert. It was very tasty.

Comments about Backpacker's Pantry Dark Chocolate Cheesecake For Two:

This product was an utter disappointment.

I was expecting a freeze-dried powdered cheesecake, which would have been fine on it's own, but they obviously thought it needed more consistency and added some type of chemical thickener.

It tasted mostly of whatever the thickening agent was, and not even like chocolate.

The cookie crumble packet, advertised as a topping, is just 3/4 of an oreo that has been crushed.
