In all the years, you must have had a slice of cheesecake. But have you ever tried the world’s most expensive cheesecake?
The Guinness Book of World Records for the most expensive cheesecake was awarded to New York’s Raffaele Ronca's approximately Rs 32,000 pie.
The cheesecake includes exquisite ingredients such as water buffalo cheese, 200-year-old cognac, white truffles from Alba and 24 carat gold.
What would really go well with my Cheesecake? My cheesecake is already quite an amazing one. So after that, I said you know what, I’m going to have the best honey, the best lemons, the best sugar, the most incredible flour – unbleached – all real ingredients. And then I said how am I going to elevate it to make it really, really expensive, rich and decadent? I said I’m going to add gold, 24 carat gold and then on top of it, I’m going to shave truffles.Raffaele Ronca, Creator of World’s Most Expensive Cheescake
The crust is made from biscotti and the chef's own chocolate and hazelnut spread. Alba truffles, sniffed out of the Italian countryside by specially trained dogs, are the diamonds of the truffle world. They typically sell for more than $4,000 a pound.
It’s not your usual cheesecake that is heavy and creamy that just sits on your tongue, this one just bites, bites, and bites. It builds up flavours, you’ve got the zest from the lemon, you got sweetness from the nuts, and then at the end of it, you kick it with this amazing white alba truffles flavours and it just sits into your palettes and it shocks your senses.Raffaele Ronca, Creator of World’s Most Expensive Cheescake
