Eli s Cheesecakes & Desserts Cookie Butter Cheesecake
The Art of Eli s Where We Get Our... At Eli s that means everything from coming up with the perfect recipe and selecting the finest ingredients to hand-decorating and staying up all night to bake our crisp all-butter cookie crusts. Eli Schulman believed baking was an art. So when he created the very first Eli s Cheesecake as the signature dessert for his award-winning restaurant, Eli s the Place for Steak (a legend for 39 years), his customers proclaimed it Chicago s Finest. With the same care and dedication demonstrated by Eli himself, The Eli s Cheesecake Company, a family owned business, has been baking up delicious cheesecakes and desserts since 1980. We slow bake our cheesecakes in small batches, taking the time to allow our ingredients to develop to their optimum flavors...the key to achieving Eli s unique taste and texture. Eli s prefers using regional ingredients from local farms and producers who share Eli s commitment to quality. All our desserts are handmade and decorated at Eli s Cheesecake World, our bakery located on Chicago s northwest side. Eli s uses only the finest, highest quality ingredients like pure Madagascar Bourbon vanilla, Michigan apples, and housemade chocolate ganaches. Honey Vanilla Eli s honey is harvested by student bee keepers from the Chicago High School for Agricultural Sciences. Proceeds from honey sales go toward college scholarships for deserving high school seniors. Eli s uses only pure cold-pressed Madagascar Bourbon vanilla extract and vanilla beans from Nielsen-Massey Vanilla, headquartered in Waukegan, Illinois - a certified Fair Trade Company. Apples, Cherries & Blueberries Tofu We use the finest fruits from Sill Farms, a third-generation, familyowned fruit processing company in southwest Michigan since the 1950s. In our Vegan Cheesecakes we use artisan silken tofu by Jenny s Tofu. They ve been making tofu in Chicago s Edgewater neighborhood for over 30 years. It s handcrafted in small batches by a team of expert tofu makers, using GMO-free Illinois soybeans. 1940 Eli s First Restaurant, the Ogden Huddle Eli s Place for Steak is where Eli created his famous cheesecake recipe 1988 Eli s son, Marc, became president of The Eli s Cheesecake Company Jay Leno filmed in Chicago and visited our bakery Eli s the Place for Steak boasted a celebrity clientele including Sammy Davis, Jr. and Frank Sinatra. 2000 A Champagne cheesecake for Chicago s Millennium celebration Eli s celebrated the White Sox World Series Victory with a 500 pound cheesecake, cut by Mayor Daley, Jerry Reinsdorf, Ozzie Guillen and Marc Schulman Eli debuted his cheesecake at the first Taste of Chicago, the country s largest food festival 1980 Eli s prepared both of President Clinton s Inaugural Cheesecakes 1996 We opened our current bakery on Chicago s northwest side 2012 Kelsey Grammer cutting our Taste of Chicago Opening Ceremony cheesecake Eli s prepared a special cake for Obama s 2nd Presidential Inauguration 75 years in foodservice culminates in the publishing of The Eli s Cheesecake Cookbook 2017 Eli s was honored as an Illinois Made Product by the Illinois Office of Tourism We baked a 2,500 pound cheesecake for our 25 th birthday, cut by rock band Chicago, Ted Allen, and Mayor Daley Eli s 500 pound cheesecake at President Obama s Inaugural Commander in Chief s Ball President Obama with Lincoln s 200th Birthday Cake in Springfield, IL Eli s created a giant cheesecake for the James Beard awards opening reception 2015 UN High Commissioner Filippo Grandi visited Eli s in recognition of hiring refugees Eli s was honored to serve our cheesecake at the James Beard Foundation Awards Gala

Gooey Butter Cake Eli s #360702/3 /2.9 oz./36 pack (3 trays of 12) Eli s riff on this St. Louis classic: Rich, gooey, buttery cake baked to a golden brown, with a custardy inside and a crackly sugar crust on top. It began as a happy accident in the 1930s when a baker switched the ratios of flour and butter in his recipe. Rather than throw it away, he baked it anyway - and the rest is history! To warm: Heat frozen cakes at 350 F for 10-15 minutes, or microwave for 40 seconds until center is warm. Let stand for 1 minute before serving. Chocolate Lava Cake Eli s #360701/3 /2.75 oz./36 pack (3 trays of 12) Eli s version of this blast from the past molten chocolate cake: Moist, oldfashioned chocolate cake, oozing with rich bittersweet chocolate ganache filling. It was invented by accident in the 1990s, when a baker pulled his chocolate cake from the oven before it was done and found that the center was still deliciously gooey and warm. To warm: Heat frozen cakes at 350 F for 10-15 minutes, or microwave for 40 seconds until ganache center is hot. Let stand for 1 minute before serving.
