Desserts of Distinction
Cheesecake Review
 Going trans
fat free doesn't have to mean
tasteless desserts or that you
have to do all of your own
baking. It is possible to get
delicious treats from high
quality bakeries that are made
with healthful ingredients and
don't use trans fats!
We recently
had the opportunity to taste 4
different cheesecakes from
Desserts of
Distinction
that have no or very low trans
fat content. And, we're happy to
recommend them to you, because
they were delicious, with very
high quality ingredients!
Classic
New York
Style
Desserts of
Distinction offers a classic
New York
cheesecake with no crust that we
tried (they also have a version
with graham crust). This
cheesecake was smooth, creamy
and delicious. At 230 calories
per slice, it is decadent, but
well worth it for a special
treat. With very simple natural
ingredients (such as cream
cheese, sugar and eggs), the
product has the classic
cheesecake flavor you would
expect from your favorite NY
deli. This is the ideal choice
for someone who opts for plain,
or if you want to garnish it
with your own fruit or sauce.
New York
Style No Sugar Added Cheesecake
You may
think you need to lower your
expectations for a no sugar
added cheesecake, but we're here
to tell you this one is a very
pleasant surprise. With only 150
calories for a slice, the creamy
texture is complemented by the
luscious flavor. This cheesecake
is sweetened with Maltitol (a
sugar alcohol product, that most
literature indicates is suitable
for diabetics!) that leaves no
aftertaste. While some testers
were reticent to try no sugar,
others were quite excited and
this turned out to be one of our
most popular cheesecakes. And,
if you're looking for a low carb
cheesecake, this is a reasonable
option, with 12 g of total carbs
per serving instead of 16 in the
classic. One tester immediately
requested the web address so she
could go online and order a
whole one for herself!
If you are
looking for
no sugar
added cheesecake,
Desserts
of Distinction offers additional
flavors including blueberry
swirl, chocolate swirl, pumpkin,
key lime, amaretto, cappuccino
and strawberry. Or, order their
sampler assortment to try
several.
Triple Chocolate Raspberry
Cheesecake
 For those
who think dessert is not really
dessert if it doesn't involve
chocolate… this is the
cheesecake for you. What makes
up this
triple
chocolate raspberry?
Imagine a chocolate cookie
crust, a smooth and rich
chocolate-raspberry blended
cheesecake and a thick semisweet
chocolate glaze and you're on
your way to experiencing this
truly sinful tasting treat. Each
serving packs 260 calories,
which is far less than a slice
of a comparable cheesecake
factory recipe treat, and is
well worth it in our book. This
was our personal favorite, being
unreformed and unrepentant
chocoholics and it lived up to
our very high standards.
Turtle Cheesecake
Turtle
cheesecake is not made of
turtles… Rather, inspired by the
classic candy, this cheesecake
is sandwiched between a
chocolate cookie crust and a
topping of chocolate chips,
toasted pecan pieces and caramel
sauce.
Very
appealing, this cheesecake
offers a full range of flavor
and texture in each bite. It was
very popular with the testers
and was the favorite for
several. Only criticism was that
it could have been "more gooey"
and needed more caramel on it.
Other
Flavors
While we
only got to try the flavors
above, this company offers a
full range of traditional
flavors (such as chocolate
caramel kiss, key lime and
marionberry) there are also some
unusual taste confections such
as orange-mango, lemon biscotti,
cranberry and
apple pie a la mode).
