MoFo #17: Wine and cheese
New takes on the classic pairing!
The wine…
White Raspberry Wine Bundt
This is a sweet vanilla cake filled with chardonnay, fresh raspberries, and white chocolate, topped with a white chocolate chardonnay glaze.
A cherry version was also in the works.
Rose Rosé Shortbread
Rosewater and rosé wine come together in a crisp shortbread perfect with herbal tea or lemonade.
The cheese…
I never ate havarti cheese before making the switch to veganism and wasn’t entirely sure what it was prior to a vegan version hitting the shelves. You could’ve told me a havarti was a car or brand of electronics (also topics I’m not well-versed in). But after reading rave reviews of Daiya’s new havarti wedge cheese for many months, I decided to give it a whirl when they were on sale for the first time ever at Whole Foods. The raving was correct, as this cheese was spicy, creamy, and intensely flavorful! It really tastes nothing like the distinguishable cheddar and mozzarella shreds, if you’re not a fan of those (I love ‘em all). I’ve eaten the havarti on crackers, toast, with apples, and in salad. So tasty!

I got some of the havarti cheese a few months ago. It was seriously delicious!
Those bundt cakes are BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!! And everything with booze in it tastes better. Also, I love that Daiya havarti. I had never tried dairy havarti either.
Thank you Bianca! I soooo wish I bought more of the havarti.
Hello,
These pretty rose shortbreads look so lovely, but I can’t seem to find the actually recipe for them on the blog.
Thanks,
Wen
