Cheesecake provides a clean cheesecake filling: creamy cream cheese with a gentle tang, soft vanilla and a rounded dessert body—ideal as a base for cheesecakes, pies and creamy desserts. Build the crust with Graham Cracker or Graham Cracker Clear. Use: Concentrate that must be diluted. TFA flavours are water-soluble and PG-carried; some may contain traces of ethanol.
