Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Black Sesame Cheesecake taste like? Rich and nutty with a subtle toasty bitterness — like tahini's deeper, more complex cousin. Less sweet than a traditional cheesecake, with the chocolate crust adding a bittersweet contrast that balances the filling beautifully.

Does Nash Bakes use real black sesame? Yes. The filling is made with toasted black sesame paste, which gives the cake its charcoal color and deep nutty flavor. No extracts, no artificial dyes.

How many people does it serve? The 6-inch cheesecake serves approximately 6 to 8 people.

How do I defrost it? Transfer from the freezer to the fridge the night before serving, or leave it out at room temperature for 2 to 3 hours. The overnight fridge method gives the best texture and cleanest slices.

How far in advance should I order? At least a few days ahead to ensure availability, especially for weekend farmers' market pickup. For events or larger orders, contact us directly.

Does it contain gluten? Yes — the chocolate cookie crust contains gluten. For allergen questions, contact Chef Jared at jared@nashbakesit.com before ordering.

What makes this different from a store-bought cheesecake? Every Nash Bakes cheesecake is made from scratch by Chef Jared Nash, a professionally trained pastry chef with over 28 years of fine-dining experience. The black sesame filling is made with real ingredients in small batches — the texture, depth of flavor, and finish reflect that.
