If it’s not your top favourite dessert, it’s bound to be in the list within the top 5 (At least the top 10!)…
Cheesecake is something most of us find irresistible, be it post lunch or during tea.
 
We looked around for the best tasting, not too sweet, not too heavy cheesecake: in essence the ideal dessert.
 
Let us know where you like your cheesecake best. In the meantime, here are some fun cheesecake facts you may  not know!!
 

 

There is an all-garlic restaurant in Stockholm where they offer a garlic cheesecake.

Cheesecake may be considered an American classic, (perhaps due to the popular variants, Philadelphia and New York) but they have been popular throughout the ages. Cheesecakes of differing types were popular in ancient Greece and are said to be their home.


Cheesecakes Don't Have to Be Sweet – Cheesecakes are usually thought of as desserts. However, they do not have to be sweet. Savory cheesecakes exist. These are usually served as hors d'oeuvres or with accompanying side salads 


July 30th is the (unofficial, but celebrated!) National Cheesecake Day in the States!

    Three more places for cheesecake: Coffee Bean, Barista and the Coffeestop at Cinnamon Grand. Can't remember prices but high value for money as they have a great cheese taste and the fruity toppings too are rather good. Yum!

    You should try the Munchkin strawberry cheesecake, NY cheesecake and the chocolate marble cheesecake. They are to die for and have a loyal set of followers! Check out their website, www.facebook.com/Munchkinworld. The research hasn't been thorough.
