The Wholesale Group adds 12 cheesecakes to CHEF Approved range

The Wholesale Group has expanded its CHEF Approved desserts portfolio with a new 12-strong cheesecake range.

The frozen, thaw-and-serve range has been designed to combine broad menu appeal with practical back-of-house benefits including easy storage, simple preparation, portion control and reduced waste.

The range includes four gluten-free options — Blackcurrant & Prosecco, Strawberry, Black Cherry & Dark Chocolate, and Raspberry & Gin cheesecake (also vegan).

Alongside this, the range features four pre-portioned cheesecakes: White Chocolate & Raspberry, Sicilian Lemon, Caramelised Biscuit and Toffee & Honeycomb.

A further four uncut fruit-topped cheesecakes — Strawberry, Mandarin, Blackcurrant and Fruits of the Forest — bring a dependable, value-led option to the range. Made with a digestive biscuit base, vanilla filling and real fruit toppings, they are supplied uncut to give operators flexibility over portion size across everyday dessert menus.

Richard Ellison, own brand manager at The Wholesale Group, said: “Cheesecake remains one of the most dependable dessert formats for foodservice because it combines broad customer appeal with real practicality for operators.

“With this new CHEF Approved range, we wanted to offer a strong mix of traditional favourites, more elevated flavour combinations and inclusive options, all in formats that help caterers manage service efficiently. It is a range designed to work hard in busy kitchens while still giving customers the kind of indulgent finish they expect.”
