*swoops in* if key lime pie and pumpkin pie are pies, cheesecake is pie. (i have no idea what we’re talking about)
No. Cheesecake is not pie.
Why would you make a pumpkin cheesecake if it’s just pumpkin pie pie? That’s redundant.
Cheesecake has more of a cake consistency than a pie consistency.
Cheesecake is the liminal space between pie and cake. An unsettling grey
area that leaves us all questioning the purity of our food order. It
must be ritualized, contained, as all liminal times, places, and objects
are bracketed by our societies and religions. That is why we insist on
graduation ceremonies and funerals. There is no lemon meringue factory,
There is no angel food factory. Only cheesecake needs the rigid
structure of a factory.

Good NY cheesecake is hella smooth. The recipe I have has you let the batter drain through a sieve to get rid of extra air bubbles and it comes out fan-fucking-tastic.
I don’t know what this post was about in the first place anymore.
I’ve never had NY cheesecake. I might have to try it sometime though.
We’re arguing about whether or not cheescake is pie or cake or something else.
Actually some pies do have oreo and graham cracker crusts – caramel pie for instance – but I still count cheescake in a category of its own
Okay, you got me there. Some pies do have cookie and graham cracker crusts.
(though as further evidence… i will point out that i am not a huge cake fan, i love pie, and i love cheesecake. seems like cheesecake is pie :P)
I knew it! You even have pie in your url!
Figures you’d be on the “cheesecake is pie” bandwagon.
it has a pumpkin pie consistency. i can’t think of a cake with a similar texture 😛
What kind of god awful pumpkin pie have you been eating?
Cheesecake is not nearly as smooth as pumpkin pie is. Cheesecake is stiffer.
Pies have crust on the bottome. Cheesecake has crust on the bottom. Cake does not have crust.
Mouse cakes can have a crust.
Besides, do graham crackers and brownies really count as a crust?

Cheesecake is cake.
It’s got cake in the name.
WHAT. Dean would be horrified 😉
Nah I was talking actual cake and pie. What is your favourite kind of cake?
I know! What’s wrong with me, right? I’m just not a fan of pie unless it’s chocolate.
Cheesecake counts as cake right? Or is it a custard pie? Does it even adhere to the dessert binary? (Yes, I’m being facetious. I read a fanfic once where Dean, Cas, and Sam were talking about exactly this and it has stuck with me for over a year. But I do actually love cheesecake.)
As for cake that someone cannot deny is cake though, it’s Boston Creme Pie.
