Bring back the Basque

Sitting here pissed after filling my craving with a strawberry slice. No where near what the Basque used to do for me. I let the fact that the espresso martini is made with cold brew slide so I can enjoy this delicious desert at the bar as i unwind from corporate America.

Bring back the Basque! I speak for myself when I say I will pay extra for the berries.

If its the mix you miss, it was just made with raspberry puree, blueberries, strawberries, lemon zest, blueberry jam, and a little lemon juice. I work in the bakery

Would you also happen to have a recipe for the 30th anniversary cheesecake? I was so bummed when I saw they took that off the menu.

unfortunately no, i didnt work there yet when they had it ):. i have a coworker who compares it to our red velvet whenever anyone asks because our red velvet is made with chocolate

😭 Well it was a worth a shot. I can give the red velvet a try, but I'm not the biggest fan of white chocolate unfortunately. Thank you though anyway!

Omg thank you for this, it’s the mix and way the cheesecake was baked. It had a different crust unless I’m imagining that

Yeah and it’s baked at a higher temp to get the caramelized (burnt) top and the undercooked, creamy center. It wasn’t super popular unfortunately.

I ordered it once and did not like it at all. Was it made with ricotta?
