Need a Little Cheesecake to Get You Through the Day?

We're taking a page from pop culture — and of course, #TopChef — and paying homage to the creamy dessert.

Looking to take a break from watching your beach-ready waistline? Then you might have a hankering for some cheesecake. Not that we ever need an excuse to chow down on the creamy dessert, because, sometimes your sweet tooth wins out over the desire to slip on a bikini.

How to Watch

Watch Top Chef on Bravo and next day on Peacock.

If you're looking for the prefect recipe to whip up some homemade cheesecake with, check out the concoction from Top Chef Just Desserts Season 1 cheftestant Zac Young.

You can also drool over this image of Elia Aboumrad's Low-Fat Berry Cheesecake first seen on Top Chef in Season 2. BTW, that recipe can be found here.

However, if you've already gone out and purchased a cheesecake, we've provided you with the perfect playlist of vital cheesecake moments in pop culture.

For starters, remember that Making the Band episode where Diddy sent contestants on a run to Junior's (on foot) for some cheesecake? Diddy just really wanted a slice of the iconic cake, and we kind of don't blame him.

Or what about the 2001 episode of Friends, aptly titled "The One With All The Cheesecakes."

Or just one of the many, many, many cheesecake appearances on the Golden Girls.

Dorothy and her pals loved to gab over cheesecake.
