2. Mochi-Filled Burnt Basque Cheesecakes - Rich Meets Chewy
If you’re after something indulgent, our Burnt Basque Cheesecakes are a standout choice. Each one is baked to a creamy, lava-like consistency, layered over a fudgy brownie base, and filled with soft, chewy mochi. It’s a dense yet beautifully complex mix of textures you won’t find anywhere else in Auckland.
Popular flavours include:
Original - A classic vanilla Basque cheesecake paired with a rich chocolate brownie base.
Matcha - Made with high-grade matcha for an earthy, slightly floral depth.
Ube - A vibrant purple yam flavour that’s naturally sweet, creamy, and nostalgic.
Durian - Packed with 80g of real durian meat in every 6-inch cheesecake; the ultimate pick for true durian lovers.
Why they’re perfect for birthdays:
Beautiful cross-section - the lava centre, brownie base, and mochi layer create a stunning slice.
Great for travel - denser and sturdier than our chiffon crepe range, making them ideal for longer commutes or transporting to events.
Gluten-friendly option available - can be made without gluten upon request (additional charges apply).
Fully customisable - we can add personalised writing by coating the top with a thin layer of fresh cream, along with seasonal flowers, fresh fruit, and decorative elements to suit your celebration (Inquiry through our custom cake form
