    I've never really 'got' cheese cake. I think sweet cheese is weird (well, :im-vegan: now so all cheese is weird to me)

    but even back when I ate cheese, stuff like cheesecake or creamcheese icing was just gross. And having people insist to me that cheddar goes great with apple pie 🤢

    Plus side is I picked up a recipe ermine icing, aka boiled milk icing, as a replacement for cream cheese icing on cakes, and its very easy to make vegan just by using oatmilk and veg butter or w/e. Apparently its fallen out of style and is kinda a 'old fashioned' icing, but its genuinly my favorite.

      Cheesecake is more like a custard pie than just "a dessert made with cheese"

        Custard is fine, I don't like the distinct 'cheese' taste of cheesecake. It's gross to me, to have that flavor alongside 'sweet'.

          Oh yeah, I mean if you've actually tried it and didn't like it then I can't argue with that.

      Cream cheese is a bit different from a block of gouda or other hard cheese.

      If you compare it to yogurt or ice cream it's less bizarre

        I mean, I like cream cheese, on savory things like bagels. I think it's weird sweet, the same way cream cheese ice cream would be weird.
