Bubblegum Cheesecake
As you will be well aware by now I am always asking people and on the lookout for baking flavor ideas.
I had a friend recently suggest to me bubblegum flavored cheesecake. Interesting…this could turn out to be amazing or so so wrong. Now it did actually take me two attempts to get this cake right, however the reason I even bothered a second attempt was due to the fillings taste sensation. I felt attempt one could have had a firmer filling so I re-did the cake with a much more satisfactory outcome.
After a solid taste testing session the consensus was that this cheesecake is a big winner.
Now, I must say, I’m not a massive fan of cheesecake but this one (a) is not sickly sweet (even with the white chocolate topping), (b) has a perfect consistency and (c) actually taste exactly like I remember bubblegum tasting as a kid!
