American Cheesecake
A cheesecake is a sweet, often cheese-based dessert. The combination of its crust and soft filling (typically containing eggs, cream, and a soft fat-like cream cheese) means the various varieties often resemble custard based desserts like buttermilk pie or creme brulee more than traditionally firm cakes. This places it firmly in the pie category, rather than (as its name would suggest) that of cakes.
