NY Borough: Manhattan Red Pepper/Strawberry confit - white chocolate Zephyr™ Cheesecake Ganache Chocolate used: Zéphyr™ White Chocolate Flavors: Red Pepper / Strawberry confit - white chocolate Zéphyr™ Cheesecake Ganache Inspiration: Back in France, the best Cheesecake I had was the traditional New York style recipe. When I was asked to create a bonbon for the W50B in New York, the cheesecake flavors automatically came to mind. To add a seasonal touch, strawberry was a natural flavor combination. Inspired by my work on ‘Invasion of the plants’ I wanted to keep this direction and add a twist to the famous Strawberry New York Style Cheesecake with Red peppers.
