gooiness

Melted cheese texture

Gooiness is the quality of being gooey—soft, sticky, and semi-liquid.

The word describes textures like melted cheese or warm chocolate: The gooiness of the brownie center was perfect.

Figuratively, gooiness suggests excessive sentimentality: I couldn't handle the gooiness of the romantic comedy.
