It is one of the flavors of this year.
It is recognized by the American newspaper
The New York Times.
There are thousands of restaurants around the world joining the
low-curdled cheesecake
trend
.
A creamy heart dessert and a
Spanish recipe
that dethrons the typical
New York
cheesecake

Istanbul

Multiple cafes in the Besiktas neighborhood advertise with blackboards and posters that they make the

Creamy cheesecakes not yet unmold.
That same year they were both in Spain.
"We attended the edition of
San Sebastián Gastronomika,
but
we never went to La Viña restaurant
or tried their cheese cake. It was when we returned from there, investigating, when we saw their recipe on Instagram. Coincidence. And we started to make our own preparation. We made many tests and finally we are left with the one we have. But, although it seems impossible, we have never tasted the original ", confess the owners from their small establishment, the original (Vinezade, air Nedim Cd. 35A D: 1, 34353 Beikta, Istanbul , from 12:00 to 21:00).
Name change
On the menu, hers is called
Creamy Cheesecake
, although no one orders it that way.

black and white chocolate
brownies
and ,
as a novelty,
cookies
.
"We only offer these options. People come to B Blok because they know what they are going to find and they like it. They do not want surprises. We also do not make variations of our desserts. We were
pioneers in Istanbul
, we remain faithful to our original recipe and we are working ", sentence Melis.
But not the only ones.
"We are very flattered that they try to copy us. Before we bought all the creamy cakes that we saw, but now I have decided not to try more. At first glance I already know if it is a good cake or not," they say.
Every day they serve (also to take away) in their
temple
of cakes a thousand portions of cheesecake (they
only make 100 units, which are divided into 10
medium-sized semi-undone
wedges
) and 150 pieces of
brownie
, at
2.50 euros
to change unit.
In its menu also all kinds of coffees (from 2 euros), although no soft drinks or alcohol.
