Tanning Kitty Hawaiian Cheese Parfait
Of course, no visit to Your Naked Cheese Café would be complete without ordering their most iconic menu item: the Tanning Kitty Cheese Parfait. This dessert is more than just food — it’s a character in itself.
Picture this: a cute tanned kitty lounging inside a tall parfait glass, The “kitty” itself is made of cheese, and the parfait was just a cheesy goodness on top, paired with refreshing jelly on the bottom and yummy cookie crusts all throughout!
But what makes it truly special is the beautiful presentation. Aside from the kitty, ice cream, wafers and layers of cheese makes up the whole parfait. It’s equal parts adorable and delicious — the kind of dessert you hesitate to eat because it’s just too cute, but once you dig in, you can’t stop.
The flavor profile is as balanced as its design is whimsical. The creaminess of the cheese mousse pairs beautifully with the tang of the fruit and the refreshing jelly base. It’s light, refreshing, and satisfying without being overly sweet — exactly the kind of treat you want after walking around Seongsu.
