Frozen Cheesecake on a Stick!

I never dreamed it would happen.

Who could imagine something so delicate, unique and satisfying?

We were strolling through downtown Dunedin, FL shopping for stuff we didn't need. It was warm, yet we were only on the verge of sweating. In the distance, I could see the beacon of light, however it was too soon to ask for permission.

It was small and I wasn't entirely sure it was real. As I squinted and held my hand up to my eyes to block the sun, I slowly read the sign....."Chocolate Divas"

My heart began to race with anticipation and I made my move. "Wife, look ahead. There is a store called Chocolate Divas, maybe we should check it out.....we don't have to, but it could be cool."

She shrugged and said, "Ok".

It was a quaint little store with only one employee. The cases were filled with homemade, delightful chocolates....my eyes began to wander and I came across a single white sign taped to the front of the case: "Frozen Cheesecake On a Stick $3.50"

Ok, wow.

Am I at the state fair or at a chocolate shop?

I casually mention this item to my wife and the employee chimes in: "They're amazing." My wife says - "You should try it."

YES!

The employee walks over to the fridge and pulls out a Milk Chocolate Covered Frozen Cheesecake on a Stick wrapped in clear plastic with a ribbon tied around it. This wasn't just a small piece of cheesecake, or a ball of cheesecake....it was an entire SLICE dipped in homemade milk chocolate.

I pulled out my debit card and the employee stopped me...."I'm sorry, we can only accept credit cards with a minimum purchase of $10." My heart shatters. My wife, came to the rescue. She dug around her change purse and managed somehow to find $3.50 worth of change.

We walked outside, and I unwrapped this amazing treat.

The chocolate was thick, rich and complemented the cheesecake wonderfully. Soft, frozen cheesecake with a graham cracker crust. It was simply unbelievable. I had never heard of such a dessert.

Things got slightly awkward when I got to the stick part, but I was able to navigate my way around it.

The chocolate chipped off into chunks, which was good by itself as well. I got a little messy but somehow with much effort I was able to finish the entire thing (with chocolate and cheesecake all over my face.)

For only $3.50 this was a dazzling dessert. Chocolate Divas knows how to do it right, but if you can't make it to Dunedin you can get your own Cheesecake on a Stick by clicking right here.
