Sometimes name of products can be misleading, the name of the product doesn’t always match the quality of the product. So when you call yourself Decadence Gourmet Cheesecakes (http://www.decadencecheesecakes.com/) you better deliver! And deliver they did!
Lee Mathis, the baker of the worlds greatest cheesecake, is a local guy originally from the Jersey shore.
I’ll begin with the savory el diablo spread, we spread it on naan bread and baked it for a few minutes in the oven and it was all kinds of ridiculous. It was that good, it was a combination of peppers including the famed ghost pepper the hottest pepper known to man…..ooooooh. It was hot, not as hot as you might think, it had just enough kick. The problem with hot items is that usually the hot part is so overbearing that it has no taste other than hot, this spread was not like that, it was hot but it was bursting with flavor and it was wicked.
Moving to the sweet now the key lime both regular and habanero were just tart enough, it had the right balance of tart and sweet and the habanero key lime was wicked! It was just hot enough, you didn’t get the heat at first you first taste the tart of the lime and right at the end BOOM! You get the kick of the habanero, but don’t be afraid it’s not that bad, yes it is hot but it’s not crippling it really lends itself to being paired with key lime.
Want a Reese’s in a jar? Go for the Outer Banks, trust me it doesn’t disappoint. Reese's in a jar, creamy chocolate and peanut butter? This is a must have!
Chocolate chai was a hit with my daughter, she allowed me to have a small spoonful, she is so benevolent. In that spoonful I could taste a rich chocolate and a great chai flavor underneath it, the spice of the chai was a nice compliment with the rich chocolate.
Last but not least was the Savannah. Sweet sassy molassy! I’m at a loss of words really. This is the Frankenstein’s monster of a cheesecake; it’s a cheesecake that was bred with a pecan pie. It really is something everyone should experience, I’m not kidding, go buy one, and while you’re at it buy me another because mine is all gone.
Decadence Cheesecake is a great holiday gift idea, it will be a hit. I am sure everyone will love it!

My initial flavor experience was German Chocolate, one of my favorite cakes. I could smell the Brown Sugar Pecan Ganache and Toasted Coconut immediately upon opening. Through the sides of the glass jar, the layers tempted my taste buds, and my spoon cut (like butter) through the fluffy filling. I was surprised how much character Lee had managed to capture in this rendition, with plenty of texture to excite and discover through each spoonful. I was also happy to find that the dessert, as a whole, was just the right size in portion, and not overwhelmingly sweet. In my opinion, this is the sign of a true dessert genius, where elements come together to engage and satisfy without overwhelming in any one department. I must say, I was hoping to find more wild flavors (Southwest Cactus, Bacon & Blue Cheese) in my Six Pack, but understand Lee selected some of his most popular choices for review and consideration. That's just as well, all the more reason to return!
One flavor, in particular, I was looking forward to trying, was the El Diablo Savory Cheesecake In A Jar. Presentation wise, this took the biggest hit in shipping, as the Ancho Chili Pesto had migrated to one side. In any case, this Ghost, Habanero, and Jalapeno cheescake base was combined with Pepper Jack Cheese, Red Onions, Sriracha Sauce, and Herbs & Spices. Savory Cheesecake like this may not appeal to most, but it truly is much like a whipped, gourmet, cream cheese. In this case the layers offered a very fiery blend of dairy and pepper which worked wonders on my palette when served upon Lime Tortilla Chips (heaven!) As equally rave-worthy, and best served at room temperature, was the Blackberry/Cabernet Gourmet Cheesecake In A Jar, Gluten Free, and part of the brand's Vineyard Collection. Crust free, and topped with a thick layer of decadent chocolate ganache, this is the perfect cap to any fine dining at home experience! If you're a cheesecake lover you won't want to miss out on Decadence Cheesecake!
Jersey Shore Cudos
"Just a quick note! Glen here, Jersey shore guy! My first cheesecake of the month order was awesome! All six varieties of cheesecake were tasty. The El Diablo was a big hit as a spread on crackers at a tailgating party. I am looking forward to next month's cheesecakes. Your cheesecake is the best!
Cheers, Glen, NJ

Can't Bring Himself to Share
“Yikes the fresh cheesecake you sent is so great. I’ve been asked to share the individual Gourmet Cheese Cakes but I just can’t bring myself to share any of them...smile
“I just finished the blackberry/cabernet cheesecake in a jar. What a tasty gourmet combination with a sauce on top of the cheesecake. Sauce was not overpowering – no crust at bottom. Jars are decorative and can be used again.”

Tasty and Novel Gift
"Every client that received the corporate gift pack loved the innovation of a "made-in-the-jar" cheesecake. Their thoughts were how novel an idea it was, especially how TASTY they were. The shipping was right on time in the 2-day time frame for them to have it before the Holidays. I will do it again next year and hopefully add to the client list."

Contest Winner in 'Dessert Heaven'
"I entered a contest on the fan page of a local cheesecake company called Decadence Gourmet Cheesecakes. It was for any type of recipe (not just cheesecakes). I entered my recipe for Upside Down Cheeseburger Skillet Pizza…. Hold the phone I actually won! To make it even better the prize was six gourmet (individual) cheesecakes.
"I went over to Business Incubator in Grand Junction and met with the owner and creative genius Lee Mathis to pick up my cheesecakes. I have to say that I have not met a more engaging and exciting person in quite some time, you can feel the passion for food coming off of this guy.
"My prizes included four dessert cheesecakes and two of his new savory flavors.
Outer Banks (a decadent peanut butter chocolate cheesecake)
Tiramisu
Chocolate Chai
Blackberry Cabernet
Sun Dried Tomato
Bleu Cheese and Bacon
"I was very stoked! I took the Outer Banks and the Chocolate Chai home for the family and left the other four at work for a cheesecake tasting event later in the week.
"I have a wonderful wife and two very hyper boys (ages 11 and 6). I thought those were the two flavors most likely to be appreciated.
"I made a mistake but opening the Chocolate Chai Cheesecake first... there was a free for all in my Clifton kitchen. Wow... the incredible flavor of exotic spices and the delicious creamy chocolate was all my family needed to start clamoring over me for more, we literally had to come to order and take turns to make sure that everyone got the same number of bites. It was that good.
"The reason I say it was a mistake is because we were all fat and happy with the chocolate chai and then we tried the Outer Banks. I was in heaven, I always think of the 70's TV commercial for Reese's peanut butter cups "you got chocolate in my peanut butter, you got peanut butter on my chocolate, two great tastes that taste great together" whenever I have the immaculate combination. I have a jar of peanut butter in my desk at work and I have a pb&j at least once per day. To say I love PB is an understatement.
"The pairing of delicious cheesecake flavored with peanut butter and topped with chocolate was so rich and delicious that we had to stop and finish it later because we were in dessert paradise.
"My family was very happy with my prize.
Later in the week I invited my foodie friends to a cheesecake tasting event at work. We "had crackers and the remaining four cheesecakes (Blackberry Cabernet, Tiramisu, Sun Dried Tomato, and Bleu Cheese and Bacon).
"My friends and I were again in food ecstasy.
"The combination of Blackberry with a delicious wine was sweet and rich. There was no downside to this cheesecake, and I am again reminded how lucky I am that these cheesecakes are in four ounce jars, because I could have eaten myself into a coma.
"The Tiramisu cheesecake was sweet, tangy and creamy. It is not my favorite dessert on a general basis but the petite serving size was perfect for enjoying a unique flavor.
"Now to the flavors that I have been dying to try, Savory Sun Dried Tomato, and Bleu Cheese with Bacon.
For Clarification purposes the savory cheesecakes are not supposed to be eaten individually like the dessert cheesecakes, in my opinion these are more of a delicious spread.
"The Bleu Cheese and Bacon was heady and flavorful with the tang of a good bleu cheese, and then the underscore of peppery bacon finished the bite and stayed with you and continued to think of the uses for the concoction. My first thought was as a topping a sizzling steak, the bleu cheese melting while the bacon and spices cover the delicious steak was making me drool at work. The other suggestions were using the spread in a wrap or on a bagel.
"The Savory Sun Dried Tomato was delicious and smooth; I thoroughly enjoyed the contrast of the two different types of cheesecakes. The tomato was understated and the cheesecake was flavorful without being too rich. Again this was be great on a bagel or in a wrap as well as on crudités or crackers. All in all I am incredibly blessed to have been able to try so many new things and to be able to share them with my family and friends. Many thanks to Mr. Lee Mathis and his tasty ideas."

A Wonderfully Delicious Product
"I was a recent winner of a contest sponsored by Decadence Cheesecakes and KJCT TV. My prize was two 3 packs of those wonderful Cheesecakes In A Jar. The jars were just the perfect size for gift-giving, so I gave them to 6 good friends who, although they had heard of the product, they had not tried the cheesecake before. 100% of them raved about the taste and flavor and two immediately visited retail outlets who carry the cheesecakes to purchase some for gifts for their friends as well as more for themselves. It is so refreshing to taste such a decadent dessert that far supersedes one's best expectations. You have a wonderfully delicious product!" Jim, Grand Junction, CO
Magnificent Taste
“Wow, what a product! The taste is magnificent so much so that I am completely ruined to any other cheesecake. If I am in a restaurant and they have cheesecake on the menu I don’t hesitate to ask if it is Decadence. If it is I am sold. If not I tell them to get Decadence then order something else. The best part is the new Cheesecake in a Jar. Just the right size for picnics and a taste on the go. Lets face it anyone who can make cheesecake this good has me as their official taste tester anytime!”
Michelle, Grand Junction, CO
Led Into Decadent Behavior
“When I first heard about Decadence, I knew I had to have them vendor at the Fruita Fall Festival. What a wonderful addition! Lee and his cheesecake can certainly lead one into decadent behavior. Good thing the cheesecake comes in a jar!”
Robbie, Fruita CO
