Cheese cakes

[elmwood]

I have never been a great fan of cheese cake except for one my dad used to make which he topped with a black current compote. The problem for me was that most cheese cakes I tried were too sweet and were claggy in the mouth. I don't know if claggy is a word, but it's what we say when we want to describe somthing that clings and clogs things up at

Waiting for explanation of the science. Not that I would understand it...

And claggy should be a word if it isn't. Cheesecake is often too sweet. I like it in very small portions.

Apparently, it was all to do with creating the optimal conditions for coagulation and ensuring a clean demarkation between the cheese cake surface and the initially quite liquid topping.
