As a chef with years of experience in the culinary industry, I can say that bile cheesecake is undoubtedly one of the most bizarre ingredients to put in a cheesecake, bile cheesecake takes the cake, literally.

The recipe involves boiling liver and gallbladder of the animal and soaking it overnight.

What Bile Cheesecake Is

Bile cheesecake is not something for the faint of heart. This cheesecake has a peculiar taste and texture reminiscent of bile.

As you might guess, that’s where it got its name. Bile cheesecake recipe includes animal bile, cream cheese, sugar, and various spices.

It’s a mixture that can turn even the strongest stomach.

From there, bile cheesecake gained its fame and a cult following on the internet.

Not For The Faint of Heart

If you’re considering making bile cheesecake, there are a few things to keep in mind.

Firstly, it’s incredibly foul-tasting and has a nauseating smell that lingers for hours.

The cake is also quite bitter, thanks to the bile, and has a slimy texture.

Secondly, it’s vital to source bile ethically and safely. Many unscrupulous sellers of animal parts engage in cruel practices. So keep that in mind.
