The latest food trend that’s making waves on social media is definitely one of the most unusual: cheesecake topped with baked beans. Singapore-based content creator Calvin Lee has sparked a mix of surprise and curiosity with his Instagram video featuring this quirky combination.
In the video, Lee pours baked beans directly from the can onto a cheesecake and takes a bite. Surprisingly, he finds the taste enjoyable, noting that the tangy sweetness of the beans contrasts pleasantly with the creamy cheesecake. His caption reads, “New York Style Cheesecake + Baked Beans!” and the video has garnered over 25,000 views in just a few days, igniting a flurry of reactions.

Social media users have expressed their shock and scepticism in the comments. Some have humorously remarked about the potential for food poisoning, while others have suggested that this combination could be a way to “ruin cheesecake with one item.” One comment reads, “Pls arrest him, you spoil my favourite dessert brooo.”
Lee, known for his adventurous and often bizarre food experiments, has also tried other unusual pairings, such as adding sliced onions to coffee and melting dark chocolate with bitter gourd. His feed is a collection of daring culinary experiments that often challenge traditional tastes and combinations.
Whether you find the cheesecake and baked beans pairing intriguing or repulsive, Calvin Lee’s experiments highlight the endless possibilities and creativity in the world of food.
