How many cheesecakes have we already prepared in Bezzia? The cream cheese cake with red fruits and the traditional New York Cheesecake are some of them. And the list grows today with a new proposal: cheesecake with walnuts and butterscotch frosting. Do you dare to try it?
This cheesecake consists of a biscuit base, a cream cheese and walnut filling and a butter-based frosting and brown sugar.
