Honestly

Part of me thinks this is a clever troll to leave it out

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.

[-] Rusty@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 month ago

Maybe they just ran out of dots.

[-] Jorn@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 month ago

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

Yup but it's on purpose. This is called "tourteau fromager"

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.

[-] affenlehrer@feddit.org 8 points 1 month ago

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 😔

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

The Tourteau au Fromage certainly deserves a mention IMO.

[-] yoriaiko 9 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] Ephera@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 month ago

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

[-] sqauffle@slrpnk.net 7 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] catharso@discuss.tchncs.de 15 points 1 month ago

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

[-] gramie@lemmy.ca 19 points 1 month ago

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.
