We loved everything about our romantic weekend in Reims. We drank Champagne, visited the gorgeous cathedral, shopped for cookie cutters, discovered the local cuisine including the famous lentillons de la Champagne, a local lentil dish. We also visited the Maison Fossier to see the pink biscuit making in action.
We love the story of these biscuits. The original recipe was created by a woman in the 1690s who began making these darling biscuits and selling them in a lovely house in the heart of Reims. The original building stills stands today although pink biscuit production has moved a little ways out of the center of the city.
Reims is a beautiful city to visit. The cathedral is stunning and so rich in history. Many kings of France were crowned in Reims. The French Grand Prix has been hosted there 14 times. We loved the time we spent there. It was the perfect, romantic weekend away.
When we left, we were filled with inspiration and so excited to come home and incorporate local food products from Reims into our homecooking…
The result was this darling pink cheesecake! Hugo was inspired to create a a pink cheesecake from the moment he set eyes on those pink biscuits during our weekend away. As soon as we were on the train coming back from Reims, Hugo was busy developing this biscuits roses de Reimscheesecake recipe!
This is a no bake cheesecake using gelatin to firm. There are differents ways to prepare a beautiful cheesecake. People tend to be on team bake or team no bake. We honestly love both. We have a favorite baked cheesecake recipe (we’ll bring you that one in the new year!) and we love this no bake recipe too.
Since this cheesecake firms in the fridge rather tha baking in the oven, the cream cheese portion of the cheesecake has an almost panna cotta like quality to it. It is really quite unique in texture which adds a special something to this recipe, friends.
We topped our cheesecake with pink biscuits broken into chunks and a mini raspberry macaron, also from the Fossier collection.

Hmm, sounds lovely, I have both the biscuits and powder, however I have no idea how to find a sheet of gelatin. Would Knox powder gelatin, or perhaps a raspberry one work?
