So the New York high protein cheesecake from Lidl is pretty disappointing

Published by Finn Hayden

Regular readers know that I'm a big fan of the high protein products from Lidl, and that I've loved most of the high protein products that I've bought from Lidl recently. A few months ago I raved about the high protein Lidl cheesecake, which I found to be tasty and impressive in terms of nutrition. So when I saw that Lidl had added a new variety of high protein cheesecake to their range, I was desperate to try it.

Unfortunately, I was very disappointed with the New York high protein cheesecake from Lidl. Whereas the Chocolate and Vanilla cheesecake from Lidl was tasty and moreish, I actually found it quite hard to get through the New York variety.

To be honest, I expected the New York cheesecake to taste a bit different from the Chocolate and Vanilla cheesecake, but I didn't expect it to taste as different as it did. The New York cheesecake is made with quite a lot of cinnamon, which you can taste really strongly. For my tastes, I didn't like that at all.
But the main difference between the 2 cheesecakes that I noticed was the texture of the cream cheese - for some reason, the New York cheesecake had a sort of gelatinous texture.

To make matters worse, for some reason, the New York high protein cheesecake from Lidl contains a whole 1 gram of sugar more than you'll find in the Chocolate and Vanilla variety.  Although saying that, the New York cheesecake is a tad lower in calories and fat, so it's not all bad news.

So to summarise, next time I want a high protein cheesecake from Lidl, I'll be going for the Chocolate and Vanilla variety and not the New York variety!
