I baked this berry cheesecake for my dog Milo’s birthday last weekend. The berries burst into the filling, and he ate the first piece before I could frost it.

I store the cheesecake in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. Milo gets a small slice as a treat, and the cheesecake usually lasts us two days.
