About Cheesecake, plain

Cheesecake is one of the most decadent desserts there is: a dense, creamy filling of sweetened cream cheese (or sometimes ricotta) set over a crumb or pastry base, baked or chilled until luxuriously smooth. Rich, tangy and indulgent, a small slice goes a long way.

There is no getting around it — cheesecake is a treat. At around 399 calories per 100 grams, it is high in fat and sugar, the cream cheese supplying most of the saturated fat and the filling and base together carrying plenty of sugar. There is a little protein and calcium from the dairy, but the dessert character dominates.

It is meant to be savored in modest portions, exactly as a rich dessert should be. A berry topping adds a little freshness and a touch of vitamin C, but cheesecake is firmly a special-occasion indulgence rather than an everyday food.
