The rich and mouthwatering offerings are slowly luring city foodies away from their carefully designed diets as Amdavadis are gradually losing themselves in the newly developed world of sinfully delicious, soft cheesecakes.
While sweet treats like cupcakes, macaroons, donuts and exotic pastries were a hit till last year, they are slowly taking a backseat with cheesecakes taking the lead this year. Jhalak Waghela, an engineering student, says, "Now that so many places have started serving them, it is a change for people with a sweet tooth."
From simple options like strawberry cheesecakes to other fruity flavours like blueberry, kiwi, lemon, orange and vanilla cheesecakes to exotic options like the New York cheesecake to sea salt caramel and orange ricotta, the list is growing by the day. Satej Saigaonkar, executive chef at a star hotel says, "Amdavadis love sweets and have a fondness for cheese as well. During our trials, we developed different varieties of cheese cakes flavored with local seasonal fruits like guava, sitafal, strawberry, fig, mud apple etc. We also decided to introduce the authentic New York cheesecake for the first time in the city. Our inclusion of cheesecakes in the menu has undoubtedly paid off very well as it is one of the hot selling items in the menu." Cheese cakes are priced at around 100- 150 per piece or 750 per kilo.
There are a lot of reasons why these cookie crusts topped with cream cheese are favoured by both the restaurateurs as well as foodies. While cheesecakes are not time-consuming to prepare, they also have a longer shelf life than most other desserts. Chanchal Chakraborty, an MNC employee, says, "I had a strawberry cheesecake at a cafe recently and I was transported to some other world. It was a perfect summer dessert." So Ahmedabad , grab a fork and dig into a piece of the delect a b l e dessert!
FUN FACTS Cheesecake is a tart with cream cheese and fruit layers. Cheesecakes were first served by the Greeks to their athletes at the Olympics Games. While most places use ricotta cheese to make these, some places also use Italian or Philadelphian cream cheese. Cheesecakes are mostly categorized as desserts. But there are savoury cheesecakes as well which are made with herbs and salt using ingredients like mushrooms and sun-dried tomatoes and served as hors d'oeuvre.
