Richly Topped DIY Cheesecakes

The Mad Egg in Dublin Allows for Creativity in Topping Curation

The Mad Egg is a restaurant on Charlotte Way which is known for two pretty filling dining options -- its buttermilk chicken burgers and its mouth-watering DIY cheesecake.

The establishment embraces a simple service to perfection with the right availability of various toppings and a premium quality base. The offering retails for €6.95 which is quite accessible given the aesthetic. When ordering, guests receive a plain slice and three toppings of their own choosing. The Mad Egg makes sure it has a rich variety of choices -- from the expected Nutella and crushed Oreos to honeycomb nuggets and peanut brittle offerings.

In addition, the DIY cheesecake experience is quite Instagram-friendly, allowing for restaurant exposure, as well as an example of one's creative culinary abilities.
