You’ve heard of ice cream sandwiches, but have you ever heard of CHEESECAKE sandwiches? That’s right: at Grandma’s Cheesecake Sandwiches, founder Lisa Cotoggio is transforming this legendarily rich and creamy cake into a nut-free dessert that you can eat with your hands. Growing up, Lisa fell in love with her grandma Raphaella’s cheesecakes, and after a career as an actress, model, and published novelist, in 2019 she decided to embrace her inner chef and open Grandma’s Cheesecake Sandwiches just a couple blocks from where Raphaella lived in the residential neighborhood of Whitestone in Queens, New York.
Since opening, Grandma’s Cheesecake Sandwiches has become a huge success, with a wide variety of cheesecake flavors sandwiched between an equally dazzling array of freshly-baked cookies. It might be a treat like you’ve never seen before, but they’re all made with love using Grandma Raphaella’s classic recipe. And lucky you: Grandma’s Cheesecake Sandwiches are now shipping nationwide.
