This is a glaringly weird anomaly in the food world. What is a cheesecake? A misnamed pie? An exception to the rule in how cakes feel and taste? What do you consider it? 

For me, I consider it a pie. I don't like cheesecake. But its name is confusing to say the least

I think it would be a cake; every pie I can think of is composed of either fruit, vegetable or meat.

What about a cream pie?

I love cheesecake!

Also what a fun question... hmmm its probably more of a cake than a pie.

Haven't heard of it.

Generally it's a pie (or a tart) if it's made with filled pastry.

Cheesecake is a layered dessert that is a cake.

I'm surprised so many call it cake still. What makes it a cake besides the name? It's got the texture and look and taste of a pie o.o

It's all lies.

Despite the name I think is a pie, also I don't like it

So it depends on the method of cooking that determines what it is then?
