I don't remember if German rules are the same as French, but in French you don't need to include accents when something is written in capital letters.

You need to include them in German. We now even have a capital ß: ẞ

The last column "texture & flavour" should be two.

Badly, yes.

Japanese style is amazing. Its more cake than new York style, and boy is it pillowy.

I've had the Japanese version often enough to say I still personally prefer New York style, that texture clash of sweet dense cream sitting over a crunchy graham is just so damn satisfying. I wish I could try out the European varieties they seem great.

Yup but it's on purpose. This is called "tourteau fromager"

Get the fuck out of my face with any cheesecake that doesn't have a graham cracker crust I love cheesecake but I can't abide any diversity of opinion on this matter

You need to in German because Umlaute are not accents but different characters.
They not only sound different, the words also mean different things.

schon is already
schön is pretty

Wikipedia says you can use quark or cream cheese: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Käsekuchen Probably lots of variations from one family recipe to the next...

Yep

There's a bakery I like that does 'Hungarian cheesecake.' It's like the German but with chocolate chips inside. Only place that has ever made a chocolate-involved cheesecake I have ever liked. Now I want cheesecake.

That sounds awful. Cheesecake is rich enough already without additional chocolate.

Sorry but no. In Germany we also use Frischkäse which is cream cheese.

The one with quark is much nicer, though.

The Japanese one looks amazing

It is. I never though a cake could be this dense and yet light and it actually wobble on your plate. The flavor is very reminiscent of another cheesecake with a twist on the texture.

In my experience, Japanese baking tends to look perfect but fall very short on flavor and texture. They also generally like things less sweet and less rich (i.e. butter, cream) than westerners and cheese is not even worth the calories.

Japanese confectionary has two distinct lineages, wagashi which are the traditional Japanese sweets produced without sugar or chocolate, and modern confectionary which is western-influenced.

Personally I dislike wagashi (mostly) but love modern Japanese sweets, because it feels like they've taken famous desserts from around the world and made them just that little bit lighter and airier, which is very much to my taste.

I do love a proper Käsekuchen but dislike the crust, so seeing one that's all cake and no crust intrigues me.

I feel like sour and chocolate don't mix well... but there is Quark with chocolate chips and some people like it, I'm just not one of them.

Quark is the superior creme cheese in all regards, except as a topping for bread rolls.

Cold, no-bake cheesecake, set with Gelatin are the best. These are the standard in Australia. Lemony, cheesy, sweet, dense, creamy, perfection.

Good? Yes. Best? Nooo. How can cheese + gelatin be better than cheese+eggs. It's simple math.
Like panna cotta vs crème brûlée/crema catalana/flan or whatever else.

Oh it mixes really well! You should try plain cream cheese (Frischkäse) with a chocolate spread of your choice. Mix it a bit on a slice of bread.
Milka even sold that premixed for a while, but it wasn't as good as just doing it yourself.

Basque? That ought to be in there. Had one in Barcelona that was amazing. Tried to make one at home and it just seemed flat compared to the Spanish one.

Gâteau Basque? Basque is a ethnic group in north spain.

No- bake cheesecake can be delicious, here's a good one.
https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/no-bake-cheesecake/

But in general, New York Cheesecake is baked.

Here's the classic Craig Clairbourne version, in a video because the original is behind the NYT paywall:

Are you supposed to eat the burnt layer ? Is it just to add flavor and can be scraped? I usually don't like burnt stuff, so I wonder how much it affects the taste

You absolutely do have to include accents when something is in capital letters in French. The fact that antique typing machines couldn't do it notwithstanding. It's a common and irritating misconception (also Windows makes it difficult to do so because it's shit, and Azerty is shit, but it's not a problem in other systems).

Swedish cheesecake anyone? Preferably Hälsinge cheesecake.

Baked cheese curd with cream and cloud berries. To die for.

Do the pancakes count? Because they have the beat pancakes in the world.

I don't really like cheesecake, but having eaten those four types, I think the American one is the better one.
