Chefs David Amoros and Nicolas Vergnole recreate the deep, bold and rich flavors of local coffee and tablea with the latest Limited Edition Burnt Basque Coffee and Cacao Cheesecake for yet another decadent salvo in the on-going cheesecake wars...
The raging cheesecake wars continues with the latest Limited Edition Burnt Basque Coffee and Cacao Cheesecake from El Born La Pastisseria. For Chef David Amoros in collaboration with acclaimed Pastry Chef Nicolas Vernole, the latest creation is an homage to artisan local produce sourced from high up north to deep down south in the country infused with espresso from Yardstick Coffee made with beans from Benguet and local tablea from Davao by Cacao Culture. And just in time too to commemorate the nation's month of Independence Day celebrations. Ready for a slice? Then, read on...

Following the success of their previous Limited Edition variant last February (see more on my post,
Say Cheese This Valentine's with the Limited Edition White Chocolate Burnt Basque Cheesecake by El Born La Pastisseria),
El Born La Pastisseria presents yet another creative iteration of the classic Burnt Basque Cheesecake. The creative process never stops, and
Chef David Amoros constantly pushes the envelope transforming a traditional Basque classic into creative renditions that surprise and delight the palate. This time,
Chef David Amoros explores artisan produce weaving both the local cacao and coffee cultures in an elegantly seamless and indulgent weave with each slice of the new
Limited Edition Burnt Basque Coffee and Cacao Cheesecake (P 3,160-Whole/P 895-Mini/P 395-Slice).

The new Limited Edition Burnt Basque Coffee and Cacao Cheesecake by El Born La Pastisseria is a story of seemingly random serendipitous moments linked together by collaboration in celebration of Filipino farmers and local artisan produce. The result? A Burnt Basque Cheesecake unlike any other showcasing pride in our local farming communities and artisan produce. And probably the most inspired and indulgent creation yet in the on-going cheesecake wars in the metro.

It's a story that runs deep and goes beyond just another lavish dessert from El Born Pastisseria, intricately woven by the stories of coffee beans from Benguet masterfully roasted by Yardstick Coffee, exquisite cacao from Davao elegantly transformed by Cacao Culture, artisan sea salt from Bohol and cheese from Negros. "I've been thinking of paying tribute to the small farmers and producers of this country for a while, so I started researching how to make a cheesecake using only sustainable produce and one that can use as many products from this country as possible," explained Chef David Amoros. "More than a dessert, it's a tribute to all the farmers and producers of this country. It's my respect for them and their work."

Chef David Amoros also tapped the expertise of Pastry Chef Nicolas Vergnole, Asia's Best Pastry Chef for 2019 for the latest Limited Edition Burnt Basque Coffee and Cacao Cheesecake in weaving all the elements, ingredients and flavors together for a story celebrating both local produce and farmers with each slice and bite. At El Born La Pastisseria, my Limited Edition Burnt Basque Coffee and Cacao Cheesecake Mini is given the final touches with a sprinkling of local sea salt...

The new Limited Edition Burnt Basque Coffee and Cacao Cheesecake offers diners a taste of both local craft and culture, intricately reimagined by Chefs David and Nicolas from their own unique perspective. The silky smooth and luscious richness of the cheesecake is given a flavorful depth by the deep and bold notes of espresso from Benguet complemented by the distinct full-bodied nutty notes of cacao from Davao tempered by just a pinch of salty hints for a delicately balanced bite of pure cheesecake indulgence. It's this medley of contrasting notes perfectly orchestrated by Chef David that makes the Limited Edition Burnt Basque Coffee and Cacao Cheesecake truly stand out in the local cheesecake scene.

The creative play on ingredients underscores another timeless narrative in Chef David's own culinary journey driven by heart and soul as he shares his tribute to local produce and farmers. The Limited Edition Burnt Basque Coffee and Cacao Cheesecake goes much deeper than just another indulgent offering from El Born La Pastisseria, each slice and bite celebrates the local craft, culture and national identity reimagined in yet another exquisite cheesecake creation. And yes, I'll have another slice please...
