Turtle Cheesecake. New Music From Gundelach.


When you want to wow your guests you can never go wrong with cheesecake especially if it is a fudgy marbled one topped with lots of pecans, caramel, chocolate syrup and chocolate chips. Yum.

I was intrigued by the addition of lime juice to the batter…it nicely cuts the sweetness of the cheesecake.

“Duck Hunting” while eating Turtle?

Of course! Especially since it is this silky, dreamy, jam of a tune from Oslo-based Kai Gundelach.

Check out Gundelach on the band’s Website where you can learn of upcoming EU tour dates and buy their music.

Cheers!
