How an award-winning chef highlights cheese flavors while improving quality.
Cheesecakes are an all-time favorite! Baked cheesecake, cheese mousse and Basque burnt cheesecake… The decisive factor in making delicious cheesecake is how you can bring out the creaminess and tartness of cheese with a silky, melt-in-your-mouth texture.
Everybody likes cheesecake, all the more reason to make your cake’s flavor rise above the rest! Ask chef Keita Ishiguro, winner of the 2018 Charles Proust Relais Desserts competition, and take a peek at his beautiful red berry cheese mousse cake, named “COMME LE RÊVE”. COMME LE RÊVE, in case you were wondering, means "dreamy" in French. Can you make a dreamy cake come true?
What can TREHA® do for you? Ask the chef for its benefits.
Chef Ishiguro uses TREHA® for various parts of his creation. He uses TREHA® for enhancing the aroma of cream cheese in the mousse, suppressing water loss from raspberry jelly and whipped cream, and reducing quality loss during frozen storage. All that comes from the low sweetness and moisture retention ability of TREHA®, as excellent freshness provider.

Japanese Style Souffle Cheesecake
This cake has a distinctive fluffy, jiggly, and melt-in-your-mouth sensation created by meringue. The cake is carefully steam-baked, and we can see the beautifully risen shape the moment it’s taken out of the steaming oven. TREHA® contributes to the stabilization air bubbles in the meringue during the production process.
No-Bake Cheesecake
Need an oven for cheesecake? Not always. This cake, called “No-bake cheesecake”, has a refreshing but creamy finishing flavor from the cream cheese, sour cream, and a little lemon juice. TREHA® contributes to a smooth mouthfeel without overwhelming sweetness.
