Food is becoming more and more of an experimental art form thanks to the slew of blogging foodies that inspire people to try even more interesting combinations such as the Mac and Cheese Cheesecake. At first this dish might seem very disparate considering that mac and cheese is savory while cheesecake is sweet, yet the common denominator (cheese) bridges the gap perfectly.
Created by Dan of The Food In My Beard, a cook based in Boston, Massachusetts, the Mac and Cheese Cheesecake is not meant to be sweet. Instead, it is a cake form of the classic pasta dish. Although a strange dish to serve on a regular night, Dan suggests that it is great for more festive occasions. Christmas may have come and gone, but Easter is just around the corner.
