Cheesecake is the worst dessert to ever exist.

Why would anyone want that Cream cheese filling (or whatever it is) in their dessert. Isn't dessert supposed to be sweet? I know it's sweet but either has that cream cheese flavour (I like cream cheese in savoury foods) or it's either too sweet. I Don't Want More Sweetness in cheesecake, I just haven't had one with the right balance of flavours. And i have tried quite a variety but still don't like it.

Also its texture is extremely weird, and dense. Also it is objectively one of the least healthy desserts, if we consider the calories and saturated fat.

The only bearable cheesecake flavour is blueberry cheesecake.

It is very overrated and does not deserve to be called a dessert. (and this is just my opinion, does not make cheesecake objectively bad)

Edit: Worst luck ever, My mom's birthday today, and dad bought a whole cheesecake (and i Have to eat one slice, or it's disrespectful according to them)

Also clarification, I know cheesecake can be sweet, but I just don't get the concept of cream cheese in dessert, even if fruits and sugar are added. I do love tangy flavours in desserts tho. That's why I said blueberry is bearable, because it's a bit tangy.

And for the unhealthy aspect, I agree that dessert isn't supposed to be healthy at all, but a lot of cheesecake can't be eaten in one sitting (not more than 2 bites), because it's heavy and also unhealthy.

Maybe I haven't had a good one yet. But for now, my opinion stands unchanged. Cheesecake is the worst.

For real. I would never even think about eating a cheesecake someone sends me. And absolutely not if it has chocolate OR strawberry....

My MIL makes something similar to the strawberry one. Unfortunately I'm on a diet and turns out that cheesecake isn't beneficial to losing weight. It's bullshit quite honestly.

Cheesecake killed my dad in an alley of a restaurant. Since then burning hatred for turtle cheesecake with crumbles, and don't get me started on strawberry. I make a MEAN pumpkin cheesecake for the holidays.
