La Rocca Revisited Part 2—S'mores Cheesecake 🔥

(Note—this post is the second in a series. The first review was for Mango Coconut Cheesecake.)

The seasons change. The head chefs might change. But one thing that doesn’t change? La Rocca’s desserts remain breathtakingly beautiful, and their summer collection is no exception!

Avid readers may recall this previous post I wrote about La Rocca Creative Kitchen’s Christmas Collection.

With summer coming to a close, I decided to try some of their summer desserts before they’re gone.

Today, we'll be checking out the S'mores Cheesecake.

As you can see from the picture below, they've got all the s’mores components covered. The varying sizes of marshmallows is a nice touch and exemplify the level of detail and planning put into this. Bravo for yet another exquisitely designed dessert!

La Rocca advertised this as a smooth chocolate cheesecake, and it definitely lives up to it texture-wise. Although not as light as the Mango Coconut Cheesecake we looked at (few desserts are!), it's still solidly on the lighter side of cheesecakes.

As for flavour, the chocolate was a little subtler than I hoped for. It’s still on equal footing with the cheesiness of the cheesecake though. And it’s still sufficiently sweet.

Usually, I don’t like marshmallows; I find them too synthetic and too sweet. However, these hand-made vanilla bean marshmallows were more mellow, making this one happy fellow! Plus, the fact that they were roasted conjured some campfire comparisons.

From hand-made to house-made, the graham cracker was also well-executed. It supplied some snappiness to complement the cheesecake’s smoothness. And in a pleasant surprise, it was also slightly spiced. This added another dimension to the dessert’s profile. They also included graham cracker via the outer crumble and in the crust.

Lastly, the La Rocca emblazoned chocolate atop added some welcome chocolatiness. It was a good quality milk chocolate, which is a good segue for our verdict.

Verdict:

As a chocoholic, I was hoping for a stronger chocolate flavour. With that said, this S'mores Cheesecake is both a faithful and flavourful re-imagination of the signature summer treat. It works well because all the flavours get their moment in the sun! 😎
