Online Bakery Black Cream Is Now Delivering Messina Chocolate Basque Cheesecakes to Your Door
This new cheesecake is made with Messina's 65-percent dark couverture chocolate, and serves up to eight people — or just you.
If you're a dessert fiend, you've probably spent much of the pandemic satisfying your sweet tooth with a little help from Gelato Messina's long list of specials. The chain is clearly known for it frosty scoops, but it also likes to dabble with Iced VoVo cakes, cookie pies and sticky scrolls, among other dishes. If you're eager to try its latest treat, however, you'll need to place an order with online bakery Black Cream.
Messina now makes its own couverture chocolate, so Black Cream is putting it to work in its new Messina Chocolate Basque cheesecakes. There's no gelato in sight — but if you order one of these beauties, which has been dubbed 'The Black', you'll be able to sink your teeth into a cheesecake made with Messina's 65-percent dark chocolate.
Don't like choccies? This obviously isn't for you. Love chocolate more than most things? Then we've just found your next excuse to treat your tastebuds. The Black costs $65, with the 18-centimetre cheesecake designed to serve between six and eight people — and, given the time of year, that screams festive season.
"We use only the best Australian ingredients in all our cheesecakes. Messina chocolate brought a bold richness of flavours to our cakes. There was no choice but to create the Messina Chocolate Basque cheesecake," explains Black Cream's Ant Sandler and Lucie Bertiau.
When they started their cheesecake business in 2020, the pair actually sought inspiration from Messina. And, after taking a tour of Messina's HQ, they were inspired to start experimenting with its couverture chocolate in their cheesecakes.
Given the bakery's online setup, Sydneysiders can get The Black delivered to their doors, too. You do need to order at least two days in advance, so take that into consideration if your stomach is now rumbling.
