Xue Er Shi Shareus - Chestnut Black Tea Rich Cheesecake

【Xue Er Shi Shareus - Chestnut Black Tea Cheesecake】⁡ A rich black tea cheesecake base, paired with a luscious, smooth chestnut puree and chestnut crumbles, for a uniquely elegant autumn and winter indulgence. I must be honest: the flavor of chestnuts isn't overpowering in desserts. But if you, like me, appreciate their subtle and gentle essence, you'll definitely love this treat. It reminds me of a chestnut ice cream I once had. Upon the first bite, I was puzzled by the lack of distinct chestnut flavor. Yet, I was still captivated by the Mont Blanc-style decoration made from chestnuts. This is why, in this cake, I’ve chosen to present the chestnuts in two ways: first, by scattering finely chopped cooked chestnuts on the very bottom layer, allowing you to enjoy the cheesecake while also savoring the delightful texture of whole chestnuts. Second, I’ve pureed most of the chestnuts and blended them with cultured butter, then piped this creamy mixture on top. This not only serves as a beautiful garnish but also, in my opinion, best highlights the chestnut's presence and its natural, delicious flavor. Finally, the black tea. I've used Ceylon black tea as the base for this cake. Its relatively fresh and crisp profile complements the chestnuts without clashing, and its distinct astringency adds a delightful accent to the overall mouthfeel after each bite. For the cheesecake, I've used French cream cheese, known for its delicate texture when raw and its refreshing taste when baked. It has a subtle tang and a hint of saltiness, avoiding a heavy or greasy sensation, allowing the cheese's aroma to shine without being overly sweet. We use fresh eggs and natural animal-derived heavy cream, with genuine ingredients and generous portions. The cookie base is a handmade, exclusive sweet tart crust, crafted with care and without added preservatives, using carefully selected high-quality ingredients you can truly taste. The cake itself has a reduced sugar content compared to typical recipes. If you, like me, prefer less sweet cakes, you can purchase and enjoy mine with confidence. A Gentle Reminder: 1. Thawing: Please refrigerate (at 5°C) overnight to thaw. Avoid exposing the cake to drastic temperature changes, which can cause excessive moisture release, affecting its appearance, texture, and freshness. 2. The decoration is quite tall, so the top might slightly touch the box lid due to transit vibrations. Serving Suggestions: Four-inch size is perfect for one person or for 2-3 to share.
