Dulce De Leche Cheesecake
Anyone who likes caramel will also love dulce de leche. They have the same thick gooey consistency and tonsillitis sweet flavor. And that’s mostly why they are best served atop cakes, ice cream, or mixed with other ingredients as an enhancer to the overall flavor of a dessert or pastry. Imagine dulce de leche in your coffee… hmmm sort of like a restructured caramel macchiato.
Which is what Starbucks recently added to their line of mixed coffee drinks. The Dulce De Leche Frappucino comes either cream based or coffee based. I always choose coffee since I need my regular caffeine fix. The cold iced mix is the plus that gives me the chill I need during the hot summer days.
The other item in their Dulce De Leche line is the cheesecake. The cake looked very white which put me off at first as I am a chocoholic but the barista assured me that I would love it especially since I loved the drink. Sold at the thought that the cheesecake would give me the same pleasure as the drink did, I got suckered into buying a slice.
The cake was so creamy it filled my mouth with such sweet taste I forgot I was eating cheesecake. It wasn’t overwhelming though that by the time I noticed, I was a bite away from finishing the whole thing. At P120 a slice, you get to wolf down one of the finest and richest tasting cheesecakes sold. Although I still love the Cheesecake Obsession of Classic Confections, Starbucks indeed offers something a little different.

Hey ApplesH! I miss your blog! hehe!
I have been hearing raves about the dulce de leche cheese cake and the frappe at Starbucks!
Looks really tasty!
I love your description” tonsillitis sweet flavor” and how appropriate that is for very sweet things! I get it….I suffer from tonsillitis since I was a child and I know what that feels like, but that doesn’t stop sugar addicts tho’! I have grown out of it, but now when I eat very sweet things like Cinnabon, or Arce’s Queso Royal ice cream….its more mature ailment…like U.T.I.!!!!!:) However, very, very sweet stuff is now forbidden ! I wish you could include some reviews of places that serve sugar-free delights for those of us who have to cut down or cut out super sweet treats.
Jigs – My blog has always been here… where have you been?
You should go out and try the frappe. Do it now since it looks like a hot day ahead. 
Mary – I too have to think about moderating my intake of the sweet stuff. For sugar free alternatives you can read my post on Sugarnot. Here’s to good health! Cheers!
