A cheesecake that will win your heart
Since 1950, Junior's has been baking cheesecakes in Brooklyn and selling them at namesake restaurants in Flatbush and Manhattan.
This time of year, a cheesecake lover's fancy turns to Junior's gorgeous heart cake, a sweet and creamy confection with a "crust" of chocolate cake on the bottom, topped with cherry pie filling , a thick slab of cheesecake and a glistening red glaze. The sides are decorated with a thin layer of yellow spongecake patterned with red hearts.
The cheesecake is pretty, but how does it taste? If you're a purist, you'll appreciate that Junior's is firm, dense and dry on the outside and moist and creamy on the inside. The chocolate cake is an unexpected change from the traditional graham cracker crust, yet its richness doesn't compete with the cheese. The cherries are sweet and slightly syrupy, the sort you might expect to find in a pie at your favorite diner.
You don't have to travel to the Big Apple to take a bite. Junior's Most Fabulous Cheesecake and Desserts can be ordered online at juniors cheesecake.com The cake is shipped in an insulated foam box with an ice pack. A three-pound heart cake, a seasonal Valentine's treat, costs $39.95.
