When you think about cheese, your taste buds usually remember various savoury dishes like macaroni and cheese, pizza, or even a cheese sandwich. Cheese can also be used in sweet dishes provided, of course, that it is accompanied by the proper ingredients. It’s also important to note that not every cheese can be used to make a sweet treat. So, cheese selection and recipe are both essential factors.
Cheese and fruit go very well together which is probably why Apple and Goat Cheese Cake is so delicious! It’s a rich dessert so you won’t need to eat much to feel satisfied. Cheese can also be used in puff pastry recipes. Cranberry, apple and gouda work really well together when rolled up with puffy pastry. For improved flavour, texture, and presentation, you should roll the pastry up in the form of roses before baking them.
Cheese Blintzes are like pancakes with a major twist! The filling is the real treat with ricotta cheese, cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, and lemon juice! Serve them plain or top with fresh blueberry sauce for an even better taste experience!
Raspberry and Ricotta Mug Cakes are becoming an even greater success. The name gives it away – it’s the perfect blend of ricotta and raspberries all together in an easy-to-make recipe for one! Why bake a whole cake when you can enjoy a fresh mug cake every day instead?
Dessert pizzas are also becoming increasingly popular with sweet cheesy toppings. The next time you want a pizza but you’re also craving something sweet, how about a peach and maple mascarpone pizza to satisfy both your cravings?
Cheddar Choux Fritters are also delicious bite size delights. Cheese, fried dough and a sugar coating make this a fairly simple yet satisfying recipe. One that you can easily serve to your guests or make small batch just for yourself and your family.
For those looking for that quick sweet and cheesy fix, get a slice of bread (or toast), add some sliced or grated cheddar (or gouda if you prefer) and drizzle some golden syrup on top! The syrup magically transform the otherwise savoury flavour of the cheese and you have a quick sweet treat to keep cravings at bay.
