No Basque Cheesecake? Fuck this list.
No Italian ricotta cheesecake? For shame!
I kid, but I seriously recommend people try it. Crust optional, filling is a combo of ricotta and marscapone cheese with butter and sour cream. Wonderful as-is, but even better with strawberry or raspberry sauce.
Italian and Basque are the two best ones, followed by New York. Scandinavian is nice enough and also not listed.
Basque? That ought to be in there. Had one in Barcelona that was amazing. Tried to make one at home and it just seemed flat compared to the Spanish one.
They misspelled Käsekuchen.
Maybe they just ran out of dots.
Luckily there is a rule for that. You just add an "e". Germans will know when they read Kaese that it means Käse(cheese).
ä=ae ö=oe ü=ue
And bonus ß=ss
Käsekuchen ist immer lecker
German here 👋 When I ate my first American Cheesecake in the US I actually thought that something was wrong with it and I let the others at my table which were all Americans taste as well. They all said it was alright. It was pure sweet and almost inedible for my German cheese cake taste. I never ate one after that experience 😅
Käsekuchen is my favourite out of the three I’ve tried. It’s incredibly well balanced in flavours. It’s a shame Quark is almost completely unheard of outside German/Slavic countries.
The swedish one is a bit different: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ostkaka
In German that name means East-Poo-Poo. Sounds delicious.
You’re missing basque style
Sweden would like to join the chat

I tried this and was gravely disappointed 😔
The whole point here is: NO RAISINS!
Who’s putting raisins in a cheesecake…?
There's a bakery I like that does 'Hungarian cheesecake.' It's like the German but with chocolate chips inside. Only place that has ever made a chocolate-involved cheesecake I have ever liked.
Now I want cheesecake.
Sorry but no.
In Germany we also use Frischkäse which is cream cheese.
Wikipedia says you can use quark or cream cheese: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%A4sekuchen
Probably lots of variations from one family recipe to the next...
Kasekuchen looks so good
Get the fuck out of my face with any cheesecake that doesn't have a graham cracker crust I love cheesecake but I can't abide any diversity of opinion on this matter
New York style looks the best. The other ones look all dry.
i only ever had (and baked a lot of times) the german style, and they are not dry at all.
from my point of view the new york style looks just sad 😅
Japanese style is amazing. Its more cake than new York style, and boy is it pillowy.
The Japanese one looks amazing
In my experience, Japanese baking tends to look perfect but fall very short on flavor and texture.
They also generally like things less sweet and less rich (i.e. butter, cream) than westerners and cheese is not even worth the calories.
Now i want Cheesecake
Mildly Interesting
This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.
