Root Beer Cheesecake

This week on Tuesday Reviews Day fate gave us Flavorah Root Beer. Let me say (well you already saw the title) we got weird with it.

So first of all, Flavorah Root Beer is a VERY creamy Root Beer flavor. It's got lots of bubbles and that sassafras/wintergreen you would expect from a Root Beer. It's definitely every one's favorite summer time beverage.

So the char wanted a Root Beer Cheesecake. Well I have never, alas, it had to be done. We started with the classic INW Yes and CAP NY combo. The "coconuty" notes that you get from the Yes We Cheesecake paired up really well with the Root Beer at 3%. We used FW Butterscotch Ripple as a kind of emulsifier for the root beer in an effort to make it more syrupy and less drinky. For the crust note I decided to use just a touch of TPA Cinnamon Danish Swirl. That butter flaky pastry sits out against the cheesecake and root beer while adding a pleasant spice note.

EDIT: (7/21/2021) I do not recommend mixing this recipe. It was fun and certainly random but not well executed. The mix is tremendously unbalanced. I’d be interested in trying this one again and I would definitely come at it from a different angle. Nonetheless this recipe is not very good.

Sweeten to Taste.
