Morozoff - Mascarpone Cheese Cake is a must-try

Closed

It is not like one can easily find mascarpone cheese cakes in bakeries here, so this fact alone is enough for me to take the plunge and buy the whole cake—actually, I was there to buy a bottle of water only at first. And I am glad I did because it is impossible to stop at one slice.

The very mild nutty flavour of cheese is so subtle in taste yet surprisingly more distinct in the mist of creaminess. Maybe it is because there is no distraction from other stronger flavours. Yes, the best mascarpone cheese baked goods are kept pure—no chocolate and whatsoever. And the mascarpone cheese cake here gets it right.

The texture of the baked cheese cake is so soft and sublime. It almost literally melts in the mouth. And the cookie base is crumbly, soft and moist, complementing the cheese cake perfectly. Maybe that is part of the reason why one slice is not enough.

By the way, it seems like no label is used to indicate which cheese cake is in the box, so better to visually inspect that the cake is the correct one since this place also offers Hokkaido Cheese Cake, which is darker in colour. While I believe that Hokkaido Cheese Cake will taste great too, but it is slightly cheaper than Mascarpone Cheese Cake. So make sure you do not bring the wrong one home.

Thoughts: Loving it!

Tokyo Milk Cheese Factory - Langue de Chat Cookies for Cheese Lovers and Awesome Sundae!

A strong contender to Shiro Koibito as king of Langue de Chat cookie has emerged in form of Tokyo Milk Cheese Factory!

Made with Hokkaido Jersey milk and French Guérande salt, Tokyo Milk Cheese Factory products feature rich buttery, crumbly cookies sandwiching thick slabs of smooth white chocolate cheese filling. A light bite on the langue de chat and the cookie quickly breaks off to melt into buttery goodness in the mouth. The nutty flavours of the exotic cheeses in the filling add the extra kick to the taste. A must-try for cheese lovers.

Porcini & Gouda is my personal favourite out of Tokyo Milk Cheese Factory’s offerings. The highly sought-after earthy aroma of the rare porcini mushroom makes this cookie taste like an exquisite French/Italian course condensed into a dainty petit fours. Paired with gouda cheese, this is a decadent treat.

The taste of camembert cheese is very pronounced in Salt & Camembert langue de chat, this may not be everyone’s cup of tea. Cheese lovers will appreciate this though.

Honey & Gorgonzola’s taste is more nuanced due to the sweet honey harmonizing the strong cheesy flavour of blue-veined gorgonzola cheese. Can be a crowd pleaser.

Update: The packaging had changed. Now they have new flavours such as Truffle and Cheddar, Salted Caramel and Mascarpone.

Truffle and Cheddar is umami dream comes true in the form of cookie. The intense aroma of truffle is perfect match with the saltiness of the cheese. The mild sweetness of the crispy cookie perks things up.

Salted Caramel and Mascarpone is for caramel lovers. The taste of caramel is strong, to the point that the subtle flavour of mascarpone is eclipsed. I can taste the creaminess of mascarpone though.

Thanks to my friends, I also get to try Lemon and Cheesecake cookies and Strawberry and Milk Tea cookies brought from Japan. Lemon and Cheesecake, with the punch of lemon and smoothness of cream cheese, will definitely convert anyone into a fan of Tokyo Milk Cheese Factory cookies. Strawberry and Milk Tea is a very safe option for trying this brand of cookies, even for those who are not into cheese. The pleasant, harmonious combination of strawberry and milk can hardly go wrong. Keep eyes peeled for seasonal availability of these cookies at our local counters.

For something different to indulge in or to impress cheese lovers, this brand of cookies makes for great choice.

Update: Got to try the Double Fromage Cheesecake from here, it is so blissfully yummy! Light but distinctive taste of cheese, fluffy creaminess and the slight variation in texture and taste between baked cheesecake (an iota of saltiness plus nutty flavour) and no bake part (smooth and creamy), this combination makes for the perfect cheesecake.

Strawberry Swiss Roll defines the golden standard for cake to cream ratio. Just a ring of cake wrapping around a huge dollop of cream with a thin layer of strawberry jam spread on its inter surface, this is the recipe for best swiss roll. And the super tiny strawberry bits added to the pink strawberry cream makes this a blissful treat. I always prefer real strawberries used in strawberry baked goods, so this cake wins over my heart.

Cow Cow Twist is a must-order because it is the best sundae. I love the exotic nutty flavour of cheese in the ice-cold cloud of cream.

Cow Cow Milk Pie is also worth a try due to the creamy, fragrant cream filling and the novelty of the flaky puff pastry encapsulating it.

Thoughts: Must-try for cheese lovers.
