Decadence is cheesecake, plus a jar and equals awesome!. I just love the concept of these! Decadence Gourmet Cheescakes in a jar are developed by a real chef, yes, a real chef. If you don’t believe me just look here!
I am a huge fan of Cheesecake, always have been. So when I got a chance to sample these I was over the moon. Lee was really good about letting me know when they were shipped out and I waited with baited breath for them to get here. They arrived in two days and were perfect. The packaging itself is awesome. They come in a cooler with frozen ice packs and packaged in these adorable wooden crates. Simply to cute!
We received the following flavors:
- 2 Keylimes
- Margarita
- German Chocolate
- Bacon and Blue Cheese ( my fave!!)
- El Diablo
First lets talk about the traditional ones. I personally did not try the Key Lime because I do not like Key Lime and I didn’t want that to sway the review. So I had my Mom try it and she is not a huge fan of Key Lime but was willing to be the taste tester. She liked it. She said it was a little light on the Key Lime flavor but it worked for the whole experience. She really liked the almond crust and the sour cream topping. She stated that when you took a spoonful you got a little of the topping, the cheesecake, and then the crust, making it a rich experience. Another I didn’t try was the Margarita. Yeah, I am not really a citrus person, especially limes. This time my dad was the taste tester and he loved it. He said it tasted like a margarita and the topping was delicious. It must have been, he ate the whole thing while he was giving me his review.
German Chocolate Cheesecake is sin in a jar. Oh my, I have never had something so rich and well, decadent, in a jar. The coconut, brown sugar, and pecan ganache was to die for. The cheesecake was mild and very subtle but paired well with the topping and the biscotti crust. The crust is infused with coconut oil and coconut liquor, it had a great flavor. This one was definitely a must have when you order.
You will notice I called those traditional flavors. That is because the other two flavors in the sample packs were called savories. When you think cheesecake, you don’t really think savory. I know I was a little apprehensive ordering them because I didn’t really grasp the concept. The two I received were Bacon and Blue Cheese and El Diablo. The funny thing is the bacon and blue cheese ended up being my favorite out of the package. It was the bomb! It had just the right amount spices and herbs as well as blue cheese flavor but the bacon is what got me. I love bacon and there were nice chunks of bacon. It tasted great on the crackers but I would love to try it with other things. It really was good and I wish I had some right now.
El Diablo is what my brother described as spicy hell in a jar and he loved it. He is the spicy eater in the house so I knew this would be perfect for him. He tried the first few servings on crackers and then switched to tortilla chips. He said the tortilla chips were the way to go. What he most loved was that the heat didn’t hit you right away. It had this nice warm flavor and then it hit you. We all tried just a little but I am here to say this is not for the timid. It packs some heat but wow, the flavor is just amazing. I wish they would do a toned down version because I really liked it but I just can’t eat a lot of spicy food.
