Eli’s Cheesecake Single Serve Slices
The last several years have brought many changes to the foodservice industry, strengthening the focus on individual pre-packaged desserts. To meet customers’ needs, Eli’s is proud to offer Eli’s Chi-Town Single Serve Cheesecake Slices made with no artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives. Individually wrapped in our custom container and ready to sell, the product line, available for both foodservice and retail, is offered in five varieties: Original Plain, Chocolate Chip, Strawberry Swirl, Cookies & Cream, and Blueberry Swirl. New graphics include the Chicago skyline, a whimsical Eli character icon, and stand-out colors to showcase the popular flavors.
Eli’s Cheesecake is made in small batches, allowing the necessary time for the highest quality all-natural ingredients to develop to their optimum flavors. The use of slow cultured cream cheese and sour cream contribute to Eli’s unique taste and texture. According to Eli’s president, Marc Schulman, “I guess you could say we’re control freaks. We do everything ourselves, from having ingredients made to our specifications to making all of our caramels, ganaches, and real fruit compotes in house. Nothing goes into or on top of an Eli’s Cheesecake unless we’ve made it, tested it, and tasted it.”
About Eli’s Cheesecake:
In 1980, Eli Schulman declared cheesecake would be the signature dessert for his legendary Chicago steakhouse, Eli’s The Place For Steak. His unconventional fast and hot baking method resulted in the creation of “Chicago style” cheesecake: a beautiful caramelization on the outside and a creamy consistency on the inside, baked on an all-butter shortbread cookie crust. What began in his restaurant’s kitchen has grown into one of the country’s largest cheesecake and dessert bakeries. Known for creating giant celebratory cakes for occasions ranging from Chicago’s Birthday, Illinois’ Bicentennial, the NBA Allstar Game and Hamilton the Musical to 2,000 lb ones for the Inaugurations of Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama in Washington DC, Eli’s remains a third generation family owned business, hand making all its desserts at Eli’s Cheesecake World, located on Chicago’s Northwest side. Eli’s attributes its success to a strong commitment to quality, empowering its workforce and following Eli Schulman’s words of wisdom, “Charity will never bust you,” and “Treat others as if you were the other.”
