Tiramisu Cheesecake

Description: A smooth and dreamy fusion of two classics. Made with real cream cheese, mascarpone, vanilla bean, sour cream, and Bailey’s non-alcoholic coffee creamer, this cheesecake captures the spirit of a traditional tiramisu in every bite. We blend Trablit coffee extract for a deep espresso flavour, layer it over a buttery crumb crust, and finish with dark chocolate shavings and a soft dusting of cocoa powder.
Pairs nicely with a latte or a freshly brewed organic coffee.
Offered: all the time
Whole cakes are available at the stores, while stock lasts. The best option is to pre-order, two days in advance.
