Chocolate Cheese gelato?! That's a new one. You'll be surprised to learn, though, that "cheese" in drinks, sweets, and even hot pot buffets is all the rage here in Asia. We tried to do the research, but all I can deem is that processed and natural cheese is popular in Japan and hence, popular here in Thailand as well, to be included in snacks and day to day creative dishes. Cream cheese is also a popular (not as eyebrow raising) ingredient in the Japanese snack scene.
So how does Chocolate Cheese or Japanese Cheesecake gelato taste? Delicious in a non over-indulgent kinda way. As typical with many Japanese desserts, this gelato is very light both in texture and flavors. Not overly sweet, think chocolate ice, and the "cheese" is pretty much a richer tasting milk. What I'd imagine Laughing Cow cheese tastes like when it's still "milk" (if that makes any sense at all 😂)🐄🥛!
Whenever you're in the presence of a Japanese cheese dessert (we've seen them in coffee and chocolate drinks too!), give it a try. It's a pleasant surprise... 😉
