Irene has something strongly in common with Bubba. That is, the love for cheese. When Bubba had a short vacation in Canada last year, a Cheesepedida (Fran’s play on cheese and despedida/send-off) was collaborated by the Food Club to send Chris off with loads of love –and yes, that yellow thing.
Each Food Club member brought a special cheese dish for Chris. It was a cheese-loaded celebration and one of the main highlights is Irene’s homemade queso de bola cheesecake.
This wasn’t our first introduction with Irene’s cheesecake as she really loves to bake in her spare time, from brownies that her daughter’s school friends and teachers love to gelatin surprise and now to her famous and beloved cheesecake. Irene gifted me and Chris with her queso de bola cheesecake and it was love at first bite.
The cheesecake is thick and rich with a velvety smooth texture, at times flecked with bite-size chunky queso cheese. The chunky parts add depths to the bite while overall taste has segments of contrasting mild cheese and fairly sharp cheese. The creamy consistency can be so addicting.
