"A London Cheesecake is a classic British pastry that consists of a flaky puff pastry base, filled with a layer of jam, topped with a coconut and almond sponge, and often garnished with a cherry on top. However, as seen in many modern versions, the cherry is sometimes omitted, focusing more on the rich coconut topping. Unlike its name might suggest, there’s no cheese in a London Cheesecake."

I bought a pack and they taste pretty much how you'd expect them to taste. Nice puff pastry, a lot of coconut, barely any jam. Anyway, I was pushing my luck with how much chocolate keeps my tummy fat down. Turns out there is a limit. Who knew!
