marbel Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Twice in the last few weeks, someone has brought cheesecake to an event, hot out of the oven. I had never heard of eating cheesecake warm before. Every recipe I've seen for anything called cheesecake calls for chilling it thoroughly. I couldn't really ask the people if they had wanted to eat it warm, or had just planned badly and not left chilling time. This is not a complaining post. I know I could eat it or not eat it. I am not grossed out by the thought of warm cheesecake. I am not bashing anyone's food choices; in fact I never call anyone's food "weird" or "icky" and think it's rude to do so. This is just one of those things I get curious about. So, do you eat warm cheesecake? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fairfarmhand Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Room temperature or chilled. But not warm 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 The flavor takes time to develop, they aren't nearly as good fresh out of the oven and taste kind of bland and weird that way. I've tried both and chilled after a day is the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heatherwith4 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I would eat it either way (because cheesecake!) but I think it's better cold. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marbel Posted August 31, 2017 Author Share Posted August 31, 2017 I would eat it either way (because cheesecake!) but I think it's better cold. Right! Any cheesecake is better than no cheesecake at all! I could eat some every day. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppy Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I'm going to guess it was 'late august mind fog' fails instead of intentional. Chilled always. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnM Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I don't think I would like that. I like it cold and firm. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie G Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I love cheesecake but would pass if it was warm. Cold is much preferred but I could do close to room temperature. Chocolate chip cookies need to be served either warm or room temp. Cold from the fridge? No thank you. It's kind of like that. But opposite. And now I want both cheesecake and chocolate chip cookies. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinder Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 If it's firm enough to be served warm I'd wonder if it was overcooked. Cheesecake should have a little wobble to the middle until it's cooled and chilled. I've never had warm cheesecake but have cooked many over the years, always served chilled. I've not heard of eating it warm. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tap Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 (edited) Ewww :ack2: That would be like bland, thick, chunky (as it cooled) warm pudding. Why waste cheesecake calories and fat on that???? ETA: ok so I googled and I guess it is a thing, but not something I want to try any time soon. If you saw it twice in a short period of time, my guess is that someone linked it on Facebook or Pinterest. Or one of the cooking shows/websites featured it. Odd new trends are usually the result of advertising. Edited August 31, 2017 by Tap 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have only ever eaten it cold. I don't even really like it room temp, chilled at least please. It affects the texture. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcadia Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 At delicatessens, I had both warm and cold cheesecakes. The warm cheesecake was something like this link Warm Fudge-Filled Cheesecake http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/warm-fudge-filled-cheesecake Apparently Swedish cheesecake (ostkaka) is served warm https://www.carolinescooking.com/swedish-cheesecake-strawberries-ostkaka/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gardenmom5 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 we will serve dh's chocolate cheese cake at room temperature - as it is much creamier and more enjoyable. I'd be concerned if it was too warm it wouldn't hold its shape. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexigail Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I was served *hot* cheesecake in a restaurant recently, and it was horrible :thumbdown: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seasider Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Blech. All my recipes say to chill at least 3 hours before serving. To me, that's what "denses" it up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My grandma's chocolate chip cookies were excellent when "stolen" out of the deep freeze with cousins.

RootAnn Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I've never had warm cheesecake because I'm generally a rule follower (don't tell my mother!) and all my recipes say "chill 8 hours or overnight." I love cheesecake, especially chocolate cheesecake, so I'd be willing to try it, though. With whipped cream. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartlikealion Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Well call me rude. I read the thread title and said ew LOL Room temp, ok. But warm sounded odd. I would maybe try it though. It just on first thought sounded unpleasant. I don't eat cheesecake much at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcadia Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 German cheesecake is served warm too and they use Quark cheese. http://allrecipes.com/recipe/128796/isoldes-german-cheesecake/ Maybe Europe has the warmer varieties of cheesecake.

Carol in Cal. Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 I like it better cold; it's too rich tasting and has a weird texture that lingers when it's still warm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
