What’s your favourite festive snack or Christmas dinner side dish? Pigs in Blankets surely come high on the list but would you put them on top of a cheesecake?
Joe Moruzzi, the owner of Redhill-based cheesecake company Pleesecake certainly would and has done so for his most controversial cake to date.
With a celebrity following including Peter Andre, Joe Wicks and even the Queen, Joe’s customised cake creations are at the top of the wish list for anyone looking for an instagram-worthy centrepiece for a celebration
Continually pushing dessert boundaries with flaboyant style, Pleesecakes recently launched its Christmas collection which includes The Notorious P.I.B - a cheesecake topped with these salty morsels.

The cake, which serves ten to 12 people and costs £38, comprises a cheddar cheese, oatmeal and thyme base with a savoury cheesecake filling containing fresh thyme and sage, topped with a sweet caramelised onion chutney, a generous portion of crispy pigs in blankets and fresh sprigs of thyme and rosemary.
Sure to be the talking point among guests at your Christmas table, the cake makes a great alternative to the standard post-dinner cheeseboard but if that doesn’t quite whet your appetite then the collection includes two other quirky creations.
