Cheesecake is a cake made with cheese as the main dairy ingredient.
Cheese, also known as curd and cottage cheese, refers to the concentrated dairy product made from animal milk that has been fermented by lactic acid bacteria or curdled by adding enzymes and removing whey.
The cheese itself is mainly composed of protein, lipids, and other nutrients, similar to milk. Cheesecake is rich in calcium, zinc, and other minerals and vitamins A and B2, and is fermented to make these nutrients more easily absorbed by the body.
Cheesecake has a soft topping with a special blend of cheese, such as ricotta or cream cheese, plus sugar and other ingredients such as eggs, cream, coconut, and fruit.
Cheesecakes come in a few fixed flavours, such as plain cheese, vanilla cheese, chocolate cheese, etc. The top layer is often decorated with strawberries or blueberries.
These cakes are more solid in structure but softer in texture than ordinary cakes.
