👉 A cheesecake, also known as a cream cheese cake, is a type of dessert that is typically made with a layer of cream cheese and sugar or other sweet ingredients. The cheesecake is often filled with whipped cream, chocolate chips, or other toppings, and then baked until the top is golden brown and the crust is crispy. Cheesecakes are often enjoyed as part of a dessert party or as an alternative to traditional cake-like desserts like cupcakes or pies.
