Délicieux

by

I know hate is a pretty strong word for 'The new york cheesecake', but I still can't like it, not even a bite.
No amount of persuasion could make me believe this plain suede dessert is a temptress, not even when it had a generous drizzle of jus.
After much negation and negotiation, we settled for Mississipi mud pie. And needless to say, loved it.
An almost burnt sable cut sharply through the sweeter mousse texture in the pie, and a slight sprinkle of salt sent my senses reeling. It was heaven in every bite! Add a macchiato - I'll surrender.

    Made me feel like some of that pie. Had some Mud cake once and it was so delicious that I didn't care if it had real mut in it. ;-)

    Wow, Verity! You sure like your puds, as we say over here! (NY cheesecake excepted!)

    True, Jamie wouldn’t mind if it had real mud 😅
    Thanks, Neville. I do

    My mom used to make Mississippi mud cake a lot. Never had it in pie form. Oddly enough, we lived in Mississippi for a few months when I was a kid and she never made it while we were there!

    Something must have been Mississipping, Christopher!

    It’s worth a google. But I’ve never tried the cake! I’ll correct it

    It almost makes me regret that I don't like cakes that much! But I love savoury pies, LOL.
    Nice one, Verity 😊
