Advantages: Really amazing taste
Disadvantages: Very fatty
I eat a lot more unhealthy foods than I probably should, my latest indulgence is Tesco Chocolate Brownie Cheesecake, my husband & I both love this but we don't buy it too often because it contains so much saturated fat! Unlike a lot of people I think that Tesco products are very good quality and so when I bought this I just knew it was going to be good.
You get two slices at just over 100g a slice for £2. This may seem like a lot compared to other treats you can buy but it is worth every penny. They come in a clear plastic container with a pale brown label on the front. On the label is the name of the product, the words "Belgian Chocolate, Fudgy, Vanilla, Creamy", the nutritional information and a picture of some chocolate. Of course you can see through the plastic to check that you have two nice pieces. On the back is another label with the ingredients on.
I won't list the ingredients as it'd take up over 200 words, yes there is a lot! But I will warn you that a lot of people will be allergic to these. They contain:
Milk, Wheat, Gluten, Egg & Soya. Plus although they do not contain nuts they were made in a factory that uses nut products. On the positive side they are suitable for vegetarians.
Each slice contains:
Calories:
455kcal, 23% of your GDA
Sugar:
29.8g, 33% of your GDA
Fat:
30.0g, 43% of your GDA
Saturates:
16.6g, 83% of your GDA
Salt:
0.7g, 12%
You can see why I don't buy it too often,. One slice is 83% of your guideline daily amount of saturated fat! This has to be the most unhealthy treat I've ever eaten so make sure you don't eat it to often. In case you are wondering what a chocolate brownie cheesecake is I shall explain. It is basically a chocolate biscuit base with cheesecake and chocolate brownie on the top of it all mixed together. The to top it off there are a variety of dark and white chocolate shavings on the top, yum!
The slices are in a triangular shape and brown and yellow in colour. Once you open the packet you can really smell them, it's a lovely smell of milk chocolate and vanilla. It is very smooth and creamy and the taste is amazing. The base is sweet and crumbles when you put your spoon into it, the chocolate has a very sweet taste which is balanced out by the cheesecake. The brownie has a very strong chocolate taste which the white chocolate on the top of the cake balanced out .
Overall I think this is a great taste the different parts of the cake ensure that none of it is too strong and has a wonderfully smooth texture, a fantastic treat for all chocolate lovers. Just remember that it is a treat and don't eat it too often.
Summary: 9/10 because it's so fatty!
