By the time that I am writing this, a lot of my favorite food bloggers in Manila have raved about the Ube Cheesecake of Indulgence by Irene. Who could blame these food enthusiasts dubbing this awesome cheesecake as one of the best ube cheesecakes in Manila when in reality, it really is.
This well-loved Ube Cheesecake is a product of Irene Co's collaboration with equally talented homebaker, Chona Ayson of Homemade Treasures known for delicious ensaymada. Chona is responsible for making the ube jam used for the cheesecake.
I could not count how many times have I raved to my friends how much I love Irene's Quezo de Bola Cheesecake. As a matter of fact, if heaven permits, I would have that for a wedding cake. I am not even kidding. Irene's ChocNut Cheesecake was also notably delightful especially for those who has an affinity for this peanut-chocolate bar of our childhood days. This Ube Cheesecake of Indulgence by Irene, is no exception to the fact that Irene Co bakes the best homemade cheesecakes in Manila.
Prior to tasting the Ube Cheesecake of Indulgence by Irene, I already had a chance to grab couple of spoonfuls of Chona's Ube Jam when dear friend Richard of Tales From The Tummy shared to us his stash. This I must say, after having a taste of it, I knew from the get go that I wouldn't be bothering my relatives in Baguio to send me bottles of the famous ube jam you could only find in the City of Pines. Homemade Treasure's Ube Jam, got it right.
Now, as with most things in life, when two great minds combined, you may never expect anything less than stellar for a product. This combination from Irene and Chona did not disappoint. Biting into this incredible Ube Cheesecake is like biting into ube ice cream sans the coldness. The perfect creaminess of the cheese and the distinct taste of ube was a perfect marriage anyone could ever hoped for.
I am a die hard fan of Irene's Queso de Bola Cheesecake, but this Ube Cheesecake is well worth celebrating for.
