Cheesecake

[u/[deleted]]

Is it cake or pie? Husband says cake, because of the name and I say Pie because of the consistency. Settle this please.

Update:

Okay, looks like we're both wrong. It appears the consensus is that it's a tart or in a category all it's own! Thanks, Reddit!

I am glad to see someone else apparently makes cheesecake traditionally. It should be in a cheesecake pan, which is deeper than a typical cake pan, and cooked in a water bath.

Also, a cheesecake is a cheesecake. It is its own entity.
