If you’ve been to Pink Sweets, chances are you’ve heard about — or devoured — our famous strawberry cheesecake. Soft, smooth, tangy, and sweet, it’s a dessert that captures hearts with the first bite.
Today, we’re giving you a behind-the-scenes peek at how we make it.
Step 1: It Starts with Ingredients
No shortcuts here. We use:
-
Local cream cheese from Riverton Dairies
-
Organic strawberries, hand-picked when in season
-
Real vanilla beans, not extract
-
Buttery graham cracker crust, made in-house
We believe that when you start with good ingredients, you don’t need to overcomplicate things.
Step 2: Technique, Patience, and Love
Baking cheesecake is a science — and a little bit of magic. We slow-bake ours in a water bath to get that silky texture. Then we let it rest overnight (the hardest part!) so the flavors fully develop.
Step 3: Fresh Strawberry Glaze
We make our glaze daily using real strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, and a pinch of sea salt to bring out the natural flavor. No red dye. No gelatin. Just fruit.
Why It’s Special
“It’s the one dessert we can never make enough of,” says Emma, our founder.
“People don’t just order a slice — they order a memory.”
