Viral Japanese Cheesecake And Whisky Cocktails Pairings For Pastry Lovers To Try
Japanese cheesecake or souffle cheesecakes are ideal choices for a pastry lover to pair with drinks. These creative desserts can be topped with jam and served with caramel or maple syrup, and the varieties and types are endless. The sugar level is very subtle, and people who don't have a sweet tooth can enjoy the pastries as well.
Cocktails made with whisky are mostly bitter and more robust in taste because of the bitters used in them to balance out the taste. Pairing a contrasting dessert can make the serving more flavourful and memorable!
The Combo To Wow: Whisky Cocktail And Viral Japanese Cheesecake
Old-Fashioned And Cotton Cheesecake
The major highlight of an old-fashioned cocktail is to showcase whisky. You want it to be clear and smooth, so it's stirred rather than shaken.
Get To Know How To Make It
- Blend 15 ml of whisky, 5 ml of sugar syrup, and 2 ml of aromatic bitters in a mixing glass with ice.
- Press through a sizable cube into a petite tumbler.
- Sprinkle the top with the zest of an orange and use it as a garnish.
Did you know? The soufflé-like shape of cotton cheesecake is achieved by folding beaten egg whites into cream cheese. Its subtle custard flavour melts the moment you take a bite, and it's sweet. Serve on a plain white platter and delicately slice with a knife to showcase its golden top and wobble like clouds.
Manhattan And Jiggly Cheesecake
The sweet vermouth balances the spicy rye whisky in Manhattan. As a garnish, the cherry brings a subtle burst of syrupy sweetness, and the bitters bring out the herbal undertones. Despite its aesthetic, this cocktail is well-balanced and easy to pair. This is the drink you want to serve to balance as well as highlight the dish.
Get To Know How To Make It
- You need to stir 15 ml of rye whisky, 15 ml of sweet vermouth, and 2 ml of bitters with ice.
- Strain into a coupe glass
- Drop in a cherry or skewer one on a pick for garnish.
You definitely have seen huge viral cheesecake plates that people bounce like a cloud to show how jiggly it is! Japanese jiggly cheesecake is a hybrid of traditional baked cheesecake and cotton cheesecake. It smells faintly like eggs and has a delicate, airy texture. The surface is glossy and a golden brown colour.
Whiskey Sour And No-Bake Cheesecake
A vibrant citrus scent is the first to waft in as the drink turns smooth and foamy after a proper shake. The combination is successful because the tang of the whisky-sour drink expertly cuts through the richness of the cheesecake. The drink's artistic simplicity makes it a perfect pairing!
Get To Know How To Make It
- You need to add one egg white, 5 ml of sugar syrup, 5 ml of lemon juice, and 15 ml of whisky.
- The rocks glass is used after a double strain.
- Garnish with a cherry or lemon wheel.
An oven is not required to make this cheesecake. It is also called a rare cheesecake because it is not baked, similar to how meat steak is made rare. Cream cheese and whipped cream sit on a buttery biscuit base in this dessert, which is best served chilled.
Dark 'N' Stormy And Matcha Cheesecake
Dark n stormy features a robust herbal aroma on the glass. Crisp, slightly tannin notes and unique character are achieved by combining rye whisky with sugar and bitters. This is a dramatic and solemn cocktail with an aroma to pair with a cheesecake!
Get To Know How To Make It
- Combine 15 ml of rye whisky, 5 ml of sugar syrup, and 2 ml of bitters in a shaker with ice.
- Pour into the cleaned glass and strain.
- Add a small slice of lemon for garnish.
The characteristic bitterness of green tea offsets the richness of matcha cheesecake. The texture is silky and rich, similar to souffles but lighter than baked cheesecakes made in the United States. Served in neat triangles, garnish with a sprinkling of matcha powder to amplify the look of the cheesecake. Even if you never liked matcha, this cake is sure to change your mind!
Vieux Carré And Japanese Basque Cheesecake
Two kinds of bitters, sweet vermouth, rye whisky, and Cognac, make up the Vieux Carré drink. It sounds like a complicated mix-up, but it is simple to make and serve. An elegant beverage with historical roots, this one goes well with cheesecake.
Get To Know How To Make It
- With ice, combine 10 ml of rye whisky, 10 ml of cognac, 10 ml of sweet vermouth, and 2 ml of bitters.
- Pour into a cold marble glass and strain.
- Top it off with a twist of orange.
The top of a Basque cheesecake is caramelised and is one of the signature Japanese dessert characteristics. The inside has a mild sourness and is velvety smooth and creamy. The cake's silky interior tempers the alcohol's spiciness. Although the cheesecake recipe is very popular worldwide, the Japanese version has more subtle hints for you to pair with a whisky cocktail to balance a wow factor.
Final Thoughts
Keeping the cheesecake at the right temperature is key to a great pairing! Serve it slightly chilled for firmness or closer to room temperature to bring out its full flavour and texture.
