Lava Cheese Tart is an adult dessert. The tart is made from three cheeses, namely comté, grana padana and gruyère. The tart is baked until the cheeses melt and become gooey, creating a luxurious and creamy texture. To balance out the strong cheesiness, it is recommended to pour some coffee honey on top of the tart before enjoying it. The coffee honey adds a sweet and slightly bitter note to the tart, which helps to cut through the richness of the cheeses and create a more balanced flavour.
