Cheesecake (unbaked): do you prefer it with ice cream or cream?

Really not important at all in the grand scheme of things but just interested in wider opinions.

Christmas Day Christmas pudding alternatives were being discussed with a group of friends last night. Cheesecake (the unbaked variety) was mentioned. One friend said 'oh yes, definitely cheesecake with ice cream'.
We all said 'with ice cream'? She said she'd go as far as saying she wouldn't order cheesecake if she couldn't have it with ice cream. Of course each to their own, but it's not something that goes together for me. These days I'd probably just have it on its own, but if anything with a pouring cream, I can't think I've ever seen it served any other way - although others said they would prefer whipped cream.

As said, it's of no real consequence, just out of interest should I ever serve cheesecake to guests, would you personally have it with:
Ice cream, whipped cream, double cream (pouring). Or any combination of the above.

Neither, as it’s already full of double cream and cream cheese.

Neither. Cheesecake is just fine on its own. I don't understand why you'd put anything else with it.

Cream or just on its own

Vegan cheesecake with vegan squirty cream. Good for your heart. Need to get a move on, it goes runny fast :)

Just the vegan squirty cream part.

I have ice cream with cheesecake! It’s amazing 😁

Neither go with cheesecake!

Pouring cream does!

LockForMultiball · 13/11/2024 17:16

I made a cheesecake the other day. It called for an entire tub of double cream, whipped and folded into the sweetened flavoured cream cheese. Adding more cream seems like overkill to me, and I'm fat as hell.

neither - - just fruit - fresh or puree

AyrshireTryer · 13/11/2024 17:29

Both

Cream, definitely. I'm similarly baffled by ice cream with cheesecake. Ice cream with hot desserts makes sense, otherwise it's like having two different desserts on the same plate!

I think it's weird with ice cream too. But not because it's like two deserts.
Why would apple pie and ice cream or frozen berries with chocolate sauce and ice cream or jelly and ice cream or any other thing with ice cream not be like two deserts of cheese cake and ice cream is?
I think it's odd simply because they are too rich to have together.

Neither! I’ve never heard of people serving anything with cheesecake, apart from berries. Maybe I just haven’t had enough cheesecake! Having it with ice cream sounds like two separate puddings on a plate!

But it doesn’t seem a big problem to serve a cheesecake and ice cream and then people can have one or the other - or both!

This for me ^
and I’m big fan of cheesecakes .

TheCryingTheBitchAndTheFloordrobe · 13/11/2024 21:40

Neither!

I love cheesecake but it's so rich the absolute last thing it needs is more cloying stuff on top.

Fresh fruit, maybe?

GargoylesofBeelzebub · 13/11/2024 21:42

Neither.
