Initially I wasn't really phased by the cheesecake filling- it was still a little chilled and definitely giving Philadelphia cream cheese vibes in taste and texture. In all fairness- I should disclaim that I only had a quick bite of the filling mostly by itself because it was still firm. It does have that classic cream cheese tang like you would expect and the funny part about this is that when it comes to "real" cheesecake, that's also the way it goes. Plain cheesecake is always more on the tangy, less sweet side until you dress it up with the strawberry sauce or other toppings and unless it's out of this world or exceptionally smooth, I can take it or leave it.
Fast forward to the next day, I finished the rest of the cake with the filling softened up quite a bit. That definitely made the texture more creamy and I was able to really mix it in with the cake. Mixing it all together definitely pulled the flavor profile together for a pretty accurate strawberry cheesecake flavor. Like with the classic dessert, the tanginess compliments the sweetness of the cake, strawberry and frosting. I think they nailed this one and while decadent, it still tastes light and refreshing for summer. Worth a rebuy for sure!
What do you think- are you trying this flavor?
