The premium chilled dessert range from Gü is being expanded by the brand with the new Gü Salted Pistachio Cheesecake that's formulated with consumer demand for pistachio-themed treats in mind.
The product features a four-layer composition that consists of a double-cocoa biscuit base that's topped with a mascarpone cheesecake and a pistachio creme. The treat is then finished with a salted chocolate crocant topping for a final touch of texture that can be cracked into just like a restaurant-style dessert. The dessert comes packaged in ramekins and is available now at Sainsbury's in the UK for shoppers to pick up in two-packs for £3.95.
Head Chef Fred Ponnavoy spoke on the Gü Salted Pistachio Cheesecake dessert saying, "Pistachio is a flavour our consumers tell us they want more of, and we’ve spent months perfecting a recipe that allows its delicate, nutty notes to shine. We’ve used generous amounts of Italian pistachio paste and added a touch of salted crocant for contrast. It’s a flavour combination that feels both classic and completely new, our kitchen team are already nuts for it.”
