Frü Cheesecake à la Myrtille Sauvage -

Some of you may remember my article about Gü Brownies or maybe my other article about Frü carrot cakes. Now I’ve tested their blueberry cheesecake. Yet another great example of the awesomeness of cream cheese - cheesecake!

Nutritional information for Fru Cheesecake - what’s in it?

Ingredients and calories in Fru Cheesecake

Ingredients and calories in Fru Cheesecake

Frü - Smart packaging as always

Calories per 100g serving = one Frü cheesecake (which is 100g)

More often than not, I find that in France the calories are given for 100g servings. However, one rarely is given a serving of exactly 100g of whatever it may be we that we purchase at the grocery store (l’épicerie ou supermarché). With these blueberry cheesecakes - Fru smartly gives us a 100g so we know exactly how many calories are in the serving without having to resort to math to try to figure it out. So 1 individually wrapped Frü Cheesecake is 286 calories. No calculation required.Thanks Frü - that was nice of ü.

Avis sur Frü : Smiling tréma desserts - Cheesecake that makes you smile

Definately worth a try.These little cheesecakes were great. I don’t know where they get their cream cheese in France, but they put it to good use. It is almost as good as their carrot cake .

As always, I’d like to let everyone know, that I have no affiliation whatsoever with the producers of Fü Cheesecake. Just testing out another take on American food in Paris .

Awesome purse hanger or purse hanging accessory

I recently came across the coolest thing for purses or bags ever these awesome purse hanger things. When I first saw these neat accessories, I thought there were compacts or mirrors. Well I was happy to find out, some do have mirrors! Their purpose, however, is to keep your purse up off the floor when you go out to eat or anywhere.

I was totally excited to have found this and I hadn’t even intended upon shopping that day. (I actually bought mine at a kiosk set up temporarily in the Metro station next to my work - another example that shows how you never know what you’ll see in the Parisian metro.)

No frü - try gü :) smiley desserts

When you can’t find Frü try Gü

Some of you may remember my article about Fru carrot cakes. Well since writing that article, I was never able to find them again. I tried at least 20 different Monoprix’s in all different arrondissements of Paris. It is really quite sad, so Frü or Gü, if you have any carrot cake in Paris, please let me know the address.

Not sure of what else to do, and bumming out since I didn’t have my Frü carrot cakes, I tried another one of their products - Gü Brownies.

I am not quite sure the translation is exact here…

Essayez-moi Chaud! Warm me up Baby!

I probably would have put “try me hot” in English or “chauffez-moi” in French, but we could start bordering on the vulgar if we aren’t already.

Essayez-moi Chaud! Warm me up Baby!

Essayez-moi Chaud! Warm me up Baby!

Overall the brownies were good. A bit too rich for my tastes. (I prefer their carrot cake). But it was worth the try, and for those of you that love chocolate, you will love Gü brownies.

Again, I want to point out, that I have no affiliation whatsoever with the producers of Gü Brownies. Just testing out American food in Paris .
