AIBU to ask for opinions on the most important topic of today - cheesecake?

[PineappleDanish]

AIBU to think cheesecake is the best dessert ever invented, bar none? We are having friends over tonight and there's a white chocolate and stem ginger cheesecake in the oven. It smells divine.

Don't think I've ever had a cheesecake I didn't love. Always my default choice if it's on a restaurant menu. Went through a phase of loving Bailey's cheesecake too.

AIBU to think if you don't love cheesecake there's something wrong with you??

@MustardScreams any good recipe for the basque one...that looks so good. ?

I loathe cheesecake.

yep plain baked new york cheesecake! nothing better.. not too sweet and with a hint of lemon to balance the flavour. Divine.

My husband love love loves baked new York cheesecake (nearly typoed naked 😂). I think it's the most boring taste although I make for him happily. I use an old delia recipe. I think I'm uneducated in cheesecake, not something I eat often but my friends does make a delicious one with ginger biscuits in the base and a ginger and lemon flavour 🤤. I used to make mint aero one all the time but that was linked to my old job. I'll have to get a cheesecake on for his nibs this Christmas, it's been too long

I've never had a baked cheesecake which was flavoured 🤔

I can take it or leave it.

New York plain cheesecake. Creamy. Plain. My Last supper menu pudding item!

This Sainsbury's 2 portion one is one of my faves.

Baked cheesecake, yes. Food of the gods.

No bake cheesecake is rubbish and not proper cheesecake.

The cheesecake I ate in New York was a million times superior to the cheesecake we have here too.

@CatUnderTheStairs I use this recipe all the time: www.bonappetit.com/recipe/basque-burnt-cheesecake

It is so good, I have to make it every couple of weeks or the cravings get too much

YABU for doing a baked cheesecake. The only decent cheesecakes are non-baked ones made with biscof base.

YANBU re cheesecake but YABU with the white choc and ginger. I have an intense dislike of both and there’s very few flavours that I feel that way about.
I too prefer the fridge version to the baked version.

Ah now where you've gone wrong here is forgetting about profiteroles...

@MustardScreams thank you....I think, my waistline might not....

I do like profiteroles. And creme brulee. And lemon tart. And... most desserts to be honest. Would never choose something like an apple pie, steamed sponge pudding, treacle tart but all the rest of it is great.

Stem ginger is my absolutely favourite thing - I could eat it straight out of the jar it is SO good.

I love cheesecake, baked or not. I make Mary Berry's white chocolate one (baked) the most, as well as lime and ginger (lime top, gingernut base) and Biscoff. But all three of my best friends don't like it, so I have nobody to share my love with

Baked or not it’s revolting

Went to the Cheesecake Factory as my sister was convinced she would change me mind - no still revolting

Would never choose something like an apple pie, steamed sponge pudding, treacle tart but all the rest of it is great.

Are you the same person as me?! We seem to have exactly the same tastes! Apart from white chocolate and stem ginger, that sounds weird!

I regarded cheesecake as a healthy option when I was pregnant - calcium and fruit in one delicious slice

For those without cheesecake, a digestive biscuit spread with cream cheese and topped with some jam or marmalade or lemon curd works well in an emergency

Pointless, ever tried red velvet?

Cheesecake is ... okay. It’s usually massive in restaurants though, too much. Something would have to be very wrong for me to choose it over a bread and butter pudding.

However - the caramel cheesecake chocolates that Hotel Chocolat do are the BEST thing they do.

I agree with you op. To an extent.
Nothing beats a home made cheesecake. I’ve had some amazing ones. Thankfully, dc1 loves them as much as me and enjoys trying out new recipes a few times a year.
