Strawberry Curd Cheesecake You Can’t Miss

This is cheesecake that you should not missed!

I bought a slice of Walnut Cheesecake at the Starbucks Cafe and it was simply delicious!

However, I couldn’t find the exact recipe of this cheesecake online but I guess that Strawberry Curd Cheesecake sounds almost alike this cake that I had tasted.

Hence, I decided to make myself a homemade Curd Cheesecake because store bought cheesecake is REALLY EXPENSIVE when you order a slice of it.

Do you know one slice of cheesecake costed $12 ?!

I could buy a pack of curd cheese and other ingredients to make a wholesome Curd cheesecake that I could eat for days!

This Strawberry Curd Cheesecake has a semi-sweet and sourish flavor with a soft creamy cheese texture that deliciously wiped off my feet!

It in sinfully extremely rich in curd cheese, so heavenly yet with a tangy sourish flavor from the lemon juice and zest.

I don’t mind the mild sourish flavor because too much cheese flavor would bore your taste bud easily. You will get sick and tired of the same cheesey taste , right?

Although some cheese cake has whip cream toppings, but mine is splashed with melted chocolate spread and served with pureed fresh strawberry for a mixture of sweet and chocolatey flavor.

In addition, I had added toasted ground almonds to my curd cheesecake, that gives the cake a wonderful aroma of almond.

Once you had baked the cheesecake, remember to chill the whole cake in the frdige for a few hours or overnight before consume.

Curd cheesecake or any regular cheesecake should be chilled in order for the flavor to blend well into the texture of the cake.

In addition, you should keep the cheesecake covered with a plastic cake container in order to prevent the other odor from the fridge from penetrating into the cake.
