@Cocoron@anticapitalist.party Structurally, its more akin to a custard pie than a cake. It's only because the dairy is solid -- cheese, maybe sour cream -- rather than liquid that the word "cake" gets used. Sub milk in the recipe, you get a classic custard pie. Also, you have to blind-bake the crust so it doesn't go soggy. That's a pie prep step; cakes don't have a separate crust.

So yes, cheesecake is a pie.
