For cheese lovers out there, here’s a showstopper of a festive treat - introducing the cheeseboard cheesecake.
The colossal sweet and savoury hybrid stands at an impressive nine inches in height and diameter and is loaded with 15 mouthwatering toppings, including six varieties of cheeses – such as stilton, red leicester, parmesan, wensleydale with cranberries, garlic and herb soft cheese and goats cheese.
In addition to almost 1kg of cheese, additional toppings include celery, grapes, figs infused with a three-year aged balsamic, red currants, walnuts, pickled onions, gherkins and an apple and pear spiced chutney.
The limited-edition Mazzetti Savoury Pleesecake has a rich cream cheese and chutney base with a layer of broken cream crackers.
Created by painter-decorator turned cheesecake connoisseur, Joe Moruzzi, this festive masterpiece was concocted by the Pleesecakes founder in partnership with balsamic vinegar Mazzetti.
Moruzzi, who has a celebrity cult following, says this is perfect for those who love both sweet and savoury tastes.
A large cheeseboard cheesecake costs £55 and a mini version cost £7.50.
Mazzetti Savoury Pleesecake is available buy online at www.pleesecakes.com or through Selfridges London concierge service until the end of December 2018.
