I used to agree with you anon, but then I had the most delightful strawberry cheesecake. The strawberry jam was so fresh and sweet, and the cheese was so fluffy and complemented the sweet of the strawberries. And the crust added the right amount of texture to balance out the softness. From that point on cheesecake went from being a block of fat with no taste, to a perfect dessert to a nice meal.

My guess is you've mostly had New York cheesecake, and I agree.

I'd give you my mom's recipe, if I had it written down, but it's kinda a hybrid between New York which is too sweet and dense, and Japanese cheesecake which isn't creamy enough, with a Nilla wafer crust.

The difference is, you use a higher flour to sugar ratio, sour cream instead of heavy cream, you use more egg whites than yolks and you whip the whites separately with the sugar to make a meringue before incorporating it all together. Makes for a much more airy texture thats not so cloyingly sweet.

>>14134737
The tang of the cream cheese cuts it's inherent richness so it's not like eating a slice of pure buttercream, and then you have differing flavors like fruit in >>14134859 or bitter coffee/chocolate varieties that add complexity and again tame the richness. Also the usual press-in cookie crust provides a crunchy textural contrast that offsets the ocean of smooth creamy filling.

American cream cheese on it's own isn't even the apex of sugary fatty decadence compared to other dairy bases like buttercreams, Clotted (Devonshire) Cream, or Italian (Mascarpone) cream cheese which can be upwards of 60-70% fat compared to the USDA mandated 33% fat minimum for most US cream cheeses.

>polish sernik
>The concept of cheesecake has been known since the times of antiquity, but Polish sernik, which stems from the word ser meaning cheese, doesn’t seem to have such a well-documented history. Its predecessor arka was a simple cake made with twaróg cheese, sugar, saffron, and rosewater, while sernik itself was allegedly brought to Poland by their 17th-century king Jan III Sobieski who defeated the Ottomans in The Battle of Vienna in 1683 and had a soft spot for this particular cake.
In time, sernik evolved into numerous varieties and is nowadays one of the most popular Polish desserts, commonly enjoyed during Easter. Traditional sernik is sometimes called sernik Wiedeński (Vienna-style sernik) and can be made with a bottom crust or without it, while its twaróg-based filling may or may not contain raisins.

>While traditional recipes insist on using twaróg cheese (Polish cow’s milk cheese with a crumbly texture similar to Italian ricotta), contemporary recipes often suggest replacing it with farmer’s cheese, quark cheese, or ricotta, which are more available but lack twaróg’s typical, grainy texture and slightly sour flavor.

As others have said, that's the appeal. Ultimately comes down to personal preference. I don't really like desserts with more cream than crumb. I'd enjoy a cheesecake that isn't too sweet, but I'd take a moist cake over that any day.

Pie will always be better than that disgusting shit. At least pie doesnt have sugar, vanilla, and breading as its default flavors. And dont you lie and talk about muh "different varieties of cake tho". Everyone who likes cake as their favorite desert likes it exactly like this and vanilla breading with vanilla frosting is the most popular cake people buy. Its primitive super sweet slop that only a retard can enjoy. Anything with vanilla as a main flavor is de facto fucking garbage.

Not including the crust, but it's a firm, sweet cream. Like, a creamier, sweeter ice-cream that isn't as cold.

One slice has about 13 grams of fat. That's from 2 servings of cream cheese plus a fourth of an egg. That's about the same as a serving of ice cream, i just looked this up so i guess its not unwarranted for me to say it's similar to ice cream.

my favorites were always soaked cakes like tres leches, or something like tiramisu. you could also just pour any kind of flavorful liquid onto a cake as long as you don't overdo it.
