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.

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.

French cheese cake

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

Quark cheese had been known to spontaneously pop in and out of existence with its anti-quark cheese counterpart, at which point the collide and annihilate each other in an intense burst of radiation.

You’re missing basque style

The whole point here is: NO RAISINS!

The Tourteau au Fromage certainly deserves a mention IMO.

The Japanese one looks amazing

Käsekuchen ist immer lecker

I have tried the German and New York and they were both good in different ways.

All of them baked.

You missed one of the most famous styles? Basque Cheesecake

that polish shit looks like it fucks

I hate this image now I'm hungry.

Can't believe it doesn't have a London Cheesecake. Well actually I can because not only is it not a cake but it doesn't even have cheese in it...

Its a weird little thing mostly localised to London as the name would suggest. Basically a square of puff pastry with a jam filling, icing and coconut shavings on top.

Not ideal when you want an actual cheesecake but a really simple and delicious pastry.

Can we talk about crust? Shortbread and flaky crust is tasteless. Cracker crumb is vastly superior 💁🏽‍♂️

There's also Basque style. I've never tried it but I'm led to believe that it is similar to NY with strong carmalization to the point where it almost looks burned on the top (it's not actually burned).

Finally, there are further regional varieties using more local cheeses (e.g. Ricotta in Italy).

The last column "texture & flavour" should be two.

Just put it in my mouth.

Then there's mine, which is flat.

Swedish cheesecake anyone? Preferably Hälsinge cheesecake.

Baked cheese curd with cream and cloud berries. To die for.

Kasekuchen looks so good

I don't really like cheesecake, but having eaten those four types, I think the American one is the better one.

Sorry but no.
In Germany we also use Frischkäse which is cream cheese.

Now i want Cheesecake

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

Baked? Not baked? This diagram is way too small.

🤤

Gobble gobble

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.

I seriously think the fluffy Japanese kind are way overrated. Although, there is this chain called Pablo that makes droopy cheese cake in a tart shell. I dunno if there's a specific name for that kind of cheesecake; I really like those. I also like Käsekuchen and NY style.

Thank you for sharing this.
