Cheesecake is generally a sweet dessert made up of one or more layers. The main layer consists of soft cottage cheese and cream cheese combined with sugar. The bottom layer is most often made from crushed cookies, graham crackers, pastry, or sometimes sponge cake. The taste of cheesecake is unique. As one of the main ingredients, it tastes very similar to cream cheese or hung yogurt. However, it also has a sweet flavor with some tangy notes. A cheesecake base adds to its taste, depending on what it is made of.
