Turmeric cheesecake

Turmeric cheesecake

Turmeric cheesecake is made with turmeric and cream cheese, typically served chilled. The crust is usually made with graham crackers and butter, while the filling is a mixture of cream cheese, sugar, eggs, and turmeric. Turmeric, a spice commonly used in Indian cuisine, gives the cheesecake a vibrant yellow colour and adds a slightly earthy and slightly bitter flavour to the dessert. Some variations of the recipe may also include other spices like ginger or cardamom for added depth of flavour. Overall, turmeric cheesecake is a unique twist on the classic dessert that offers a delicious and aromatic experience.
