And...how does this goe in the WEPR forum? To answer your question, it's called cheesecake because cheese is in it...so there's the cheese part(though that's already been said). And it's called cheesecake because it more closely resembles a pie. According to this definition, pies have shells. Cheesecakes do not have shells. Therefore, it is a cheesecake. I would also add that cheesecakes are delicious and that the button you are looking for is located between "Tab" and "Shift" on the left side of your keyboard.
well you see the lord of all cake who lives in the cake castle on the top of cake mountain once made the first cheesecake he wanted to call it cake of cheese but his advisers disapproved so he switched it to cheese cake.
Have you seen a pie? They are made of pastry and have a filling inside them. Have you seen a cheesecake? They look nothing like a pie, as carlie said they only have a bottom layer, which I think can sometimes be biscuit..?
there is a difference in cheesecake and cheesepie (and there is "cheesepie"
size and shape, method of creation, (cheese pie is not as smooth and solid as cheesecake, from my experience) and cheesecake use a different type of crust then a pie crust or shell (bottom layer and sometimes all around the cake, but it uses a relatively thin crust when comapared to a pie)It is typically made in springform pans next to pie which is made with well... a pie pan.... listen my dad spent over a dozen years perfecting the recipe to be an all holy might amongst cheesecake. I know cheesecakes.
I know its good, very much so (come on, CHEESE) and it is a pie,

1. You cook them in cake pans. 2. They don't use a true pie crust, just a bottom layer. 3. Some cheesecakes you don't even bake.[quote]
My point is that such a wonderful thing combie with the wonder that is pie, shouldn't be called a cake! BLEH, cake is getting credit for pies creation, as you can see with Carlie and H4V0K say. Pie deserves it!
Pie: a baked food having a filling of fruit, meat, pudding, etc., prepared in a pastry-lined pan or dish and often topped with a pastry crust: apple pie; meat pie. a layer cake with a filling of custard, cream jelly, or the like: chocolate cream pie. Cake: a sweet, baked, breadlike food, made with or without shortening, and usually containing flour, sugar, baking powder or soda, eggs, and liquid flavoring. Tart: a small pie filled with cooked fruit or other sweetened preparation, usually having no top crust. a covered pie containing fruit or the like.
Let's see. A cheesecake is a tart, which is a small pie, which is cake. Tomatoes are berries.
Possibly due to the fact that the original Italian cheesecake is made of ricotta cheese, and when fluffed and made into cheesecake, the ricotta would become around the consistency and texture of cake batter - or due to the fact that cheesepie or cheesetart wouldn't roll off the tongue as well. Maybe an Italian-to-English translation problem?
