gooeyness

Melted cheese texture

Gooeyness is the quality of being soft, sticky, and slightly liquid—the texture of melted cheese, warm caramel, or undercooked brownies: The gooeyness of the chocolate lava cake was perfect.

Figuratively, it describes excessive sentimentality: The film's gooeyness made me cringe.
