Cheesecake

Made from cream cheese, ricotta cheese, cottage cheese or sometimes Swiss or cheddar cheese or at Pearl with Brillat Savarin, a cheesecake may or may not have a crust, which can be a light dusting of bread crumbs, a cookie crust or a pastry crust. The filling is made by mixing the cheese with eggs, sugar and whatever flavouring you are going to use — e.g., pumpkin. After baking, the cheesecake is chilled and topped with whipped cream, fruit or chocolate shavings.
