Dacquoise cheesecake – notes
Dacquoise is a meringue cake layered with cream, nuts, and dates.
This dessert is delicious and also appeared on my blog, and now it served as inspiration for me to create a dacquoise cheesecake.
On a shortbread cookie base, I placed a layer of chopped hazelnuts and dates mixed with toffee mass.
I also made the dacquoise cheesecake itself with toffee and did not sweeten it additionally.
Despite using sweet toffee, the cake is not too sweet at all, and if you have a “sweet tooth”, you can add powdered sugar to the cream cheese mixture.
After baking and chilling in the refrigerator, I decorated the cheesecake with a layer of whipped cream, caramelized hazelnuts, and mini meringues.
The cheesecake turned out delicious, and it looks fantastic and will be the centerpiece of any table!
You must bake it!

Ps. Do sernika użyłam prażone orzechy laskowe od Tree Nuts – takie orzechy są dużo bardziej chrupiące, a do tego bardziej aromatyczne 😍😋

Dacquoise cheesecake recipe
The idea for a dacquoise cheesecake recipe came to me unexpectedly. I was thinking about dacquoise meringue, and I kept thinking and thinking until it hit me! Why not use this combination of flavors in a cheesecake! So here we have dates, nuts, and toffee. And all of this surrounded by a light cheesecake. To make the cheesecake more similar to meringue, I decorated the top of the cheesecake with whipped cream at the end. We really liked the dacquoise cheesecake, and I hope you will also enjoy dacquoise in this version. If you have never made dacquoise meringue before, you can find the dacquoise meringue recipe on the blog. Bake the meringue, and also this dacquoise cheesecake!
