This is perhaps my favorite of the Madrinas Travel Series of blends. New York Cheesecake is a simple but WONDERFULLY effective blend of tasty, energizing coffee and a SHOCKINGLY ACCURATE cheesecake flavor, resembling the real thing even better than some shakes I've tasted before. It literally tastes like a cheesecake in a cup, and it's AMAZING. I made it with both water, and, though not listed, milk, and while the milk was maybe too strong, it came out so tremendously rich and creamy that I haven't been able to stop doing it! ABSOLUTE Recommend.
