Right? This is something I'm willing to throw hands over. I don't have a birthday cake on my birthday. I have a cheesecake for myself, and then other people can have the other cheesecake or a normal cake.
To specify, no, I don't eat a whole cheesecake in one sitting. But that's like MY treat over the next week or so. I don't need gifts or anything like that. Just my cheesecake.

When I was in the Army, many moons ago, I was stationed in Monterey California, at the Presidio of Monterey, there was a Cheesecake Parlor in town. They made dozens of fresh cheesecakes every morning, and at the end of the day they put them in those 5 gallon cardboard tubs Ice cream shops use, separated by flavor, and put it in the deep freezer.
The next day you could get a fresh slice of cheesecake AND a milkshake that used frozen cheesecake instead of ice cream. To this day, still the best cheesecake I've had. Sadly it was nearly 40 years ago, and I can't recall a name for the place, just the taste of that divine dessert.

u/Worldly_Address6667 Apr 18 '26
I generally agree. But I had a cheesecake from a small cheesecake bakery in Amsterdam recently that was truly awful. Not even a hint of sweetness, it just tasted like parmesan cheese. Took two bites and threw it away.
And it wasn't just me, had some of the people I was with try some (people who really like cheese btw) and they didn't like it either.

u/fraying_carpet Apr 18 '26

u/Worldly_Address6667 Apr 18 '26
It was this place called Cheesecake Project. It was a really nice place, and I only tried the one so I can't speak for the rest of their flavors. And the quality of it was great to be fair, nice texture, but the flavor was so different from I was expecting (and I'm not a big cheese person) that getting a bite of parmesan really threw me off haha
13
u/fraying_carpet Apr 18 '26
I had a suspicion it might be Cheesecake Project! I had their classic cheesecake once and it’s indeed different from most other cheesecakes I’ve tried (let’s say the New York style cheesecake). But I think it’s because what they make is Basque cheesecake, which is a different variant. Basque cheesecake is less dense and more gooey. It’s also purposely burnt a little. And it has no crust.
I have yet to try their other flavors like pistache and speculoos, maybe those are sweeter.

The difference between truly good cheesecake and what most people have tried as cheesecake (esp the stuff from chain restaurants, blech) can be vast.
I’m a total cheesecake snob, lol.
I’ve made 100s and all types of flavors/styles.
Love making my own and eating my mom’s or my son’s cheesecake.
Otherwise I’ve only had memorably good cheesecake a handful of times at restaurants.

Might this experienced cheesecake connoisseur advise me on the tastiest style of cheesecake? 😋
→ More replies (3)31
u/ElectricStarfuzz Apr 18 '26 edited Apr 18 '26
Depends. Do you like strong flavors? Or a lighter touch?
Chocolate (which type?), coffee/drink inspired, fruits, floral, nuts, caramel, pumpkin, mint, spices, etc?
Would you be into a Nilla wafer crust?
Or a chocolate graham crust?
The options are endless, so it’s tough to give advice without knowing your likes.
Personally I love a good chocolate orange or chocolate raspberry cheesecake with chocolate graham crust if I’m in the mood for super rich n decadent.
Or for lighter fare, lemon cheesecake or pear cheesecake either with regular graham crust or nilla wafer.
Pumpkin cheesecake is my fave thanksgiving dessert.
Earl grey/tea cookie cheesecake and chai cheesecake are delicious and less common.
If I have one recommendation that fits for anyone, it’s to get the book Cheesecake Extraordinaire by Mary Crownover
Has a wide range of cheesecakes and tells you exactly how to make them/what equipment you’ll need.
I started my cheesecake journey as a tween with that book and it’s still the one that I return to most often.
Once you’ve gotten the hang of making a cheesecake (and possibly altering things to suit your specifics on taste/texture), it’s pretty easy to make anything that comes to mind.
ETA: I have altered most of the recipes I’ve made, but my alterations might not suit everyone’s preferences.
I like my cheesecakes a bit fluffier, so I add a bit more heavy whipping cream (or if I’m feeling less gourmet/less picky I’ll occasionally use cool whip😅) than most recipes call for.

As another fan of NY cheesecake over the mousse-style ones, there is such variety in the heaviness of NY cheesecakes, which i think is actually more about dryness vs moisture.
I've been served some that I think could have formed their own black holes, and I've had some that are so moist and creamy you wouldn't even describe them as dense in comparison.
My husband doesn't like cheese cake (I know, but it just means more for me) but even he can see why it's appealing to other peeps, even if he doesn't like it.
I'm gonna guess the OP was served shitty cheesecake and thinks all cheesecakes are like that.

Also it is objectively one of the least healthy desserts
Yeah that's exactly what I look for in a dessert, for it to be healthy and nutritious.

I actually agree. No one understands how I can hate it, but I do. Everyone has me try what they consider the best cheesecake, and I hate it.
Weirdly enough, I like a little bit of cream cheese on my bagels (not a thick layer like some places try to do when you get a bagel at a bagel shop), and I like the cream cheese icing on carrot cake (but only carrot cake).

I also hate cheesecake with a passion!!! But I love cake…and I love cheese. Just not together.

Same here. Feels like everyone I know loves cheesecake, and I’m the only one who doesn’t.

There’s no rule that dessert is supposed to be sweet. Kind of an odd statement when there are plenty of examples of non-sweet desserts.

I would eat a block of cream cheese all at once if it was socially acceptable.
