Cheesecake Cheesecake is a sweet dish consisting primarily of a mixture of soft, fresh cheese (not always cream cheese), eggs, and sugar; often on a crust or base made from crushed cookies or graham crackers, pastry or sponge cake. It may be baked or unbaked. There is a Cheesecake Factory in Peoria not too far from Sun City. I have been there. Have you? I like cheesecake. Do you? I make the no bake cheese cake.
