M Bakery is giving its New York Cheesecakes and Classic American Pies with something different.
M Bakery uses calamansi instead of key lime to give their well-known Key Lime Cheesecake a uniquely Filipino flair. The Calamansi Cheesecake has a graham cracker crust with a dab of whipped cream on top, flavored with fresh calamansi juice.
Another twist is the Prized Red Velvet Cake. M Bakery offers this famous dessert but they are serving it as a cheesecake—topped with whipped cream and chocolate shavings and served on a chocolate cookie crust.
Popeyes’ new dessert pies
Take yourself or your family or friends out for dinner or brunch and taste something new for dessert after your meals.
Famous for its chicken and biscuits, Popeyes is putting forward its new dessert pies: Strawberry Cheesecake Pie and Cinnamon Apple Pie (P65 each).
Both pies are deep-fried in a turnover-style pie crust and dusted with cinnamon sugar coating, the only difference is the filling—one has strawberry sauce and cream cheese filling, while the other has cinnamon-enriched apple filling.
Carmen’s Best new flavors
There is so much to celebrate with Carmen’s Best—a brand new look, a new store, and a revamped e-commerce hub.
To usher in the holiday season, the premium local ice cream brand also launched its limited-edition flavors that are still “crafted with 100% fresh milk.”
The additional flavors are Merry Mint Chocolate, which is a mint-based ice cream with chocolate bits; Jolly Ol’ Eggnog, a cinnamon-based ice cream with chocolate sauce; and S’mores the Merrier, a marshmallow-based ice cream with graham cracker pieces and chocolate sauce.
Dairy Queen’s Blizzard of the month
