It’s clear from the photo how Gallery & Co.’s take (priced at $8.50) doesn’t have the creamy, melty, oozy centres we associate with these burnt cheesecakes. Don’t get me wrong, as far as cheesecakes go this is an amazingly delicious one. It’s got just enough tang, ain’t overly sweet, and definitely boasts that creamy, melt-in-your-mouth texture that will one-up regular NY cheesecakes. The accompanying chantilly cream is worthy of praise as well with its cloud-like ethereal texture 👌🏻 One thing though: the top is definitely burnt. I’m sure when they say “burnt” cheesecake they’re referring to that Maillard reaction and that beautiful resulting caramelisation, but over here it’s 100% burnt for sure — in the traditional, turned to carbon, bitter af sense. Not the most pleasant.
