🍰 Broken Heart Cheesecakes Honors Southern Icon with Original Moon Pie Cheesecake

A Dunlap bakery is tapping into more than a century of regional history with a new handcrafted flavor that blends nostalgia with modern confectionery craft. Broken Heart Cheesecakes has introduced an Original Moon Pie Cheesecake that celebrates the iconic snack born in Chattanooga over 100 years ago.

🌕 A Slice of Southern Heritage

Moon Pies have been a fixture of Southern culture since 1917, when they were created in Chattanooga, Tennessee. According to the legend, a coal miner requested a snack “as big as the moon”-and the iconic marshmallow sandwich was born. ✨ The treat has endured for more than a century, becoming woven into the region’s identity and memory.

Broken Heart Cheesecakes, based in Dunlap, has reimagined that classic confection as a handcrafted cheesecake creation. The new flavor combines the marshmallow-and-chocolate essence of the original Moon Pie with the bakery’s signature cheesecake craftsmanship. Each slice is topped with chocolate drizzle, whipped cream, and a halved Moon Pie cookie-a visual and culinary nod to the snack that inspired it. 🤤
