Some people try to pass no-bake-quark-jelly as cheesecake, I assume that's what you mean because it is, in fact, soft and icky and has a texture of a jelly that's too ashamed to admit its identity. Unfortunately real, baked cheesecake is also subject to opinions and preferences. For example I like it to contain raisins and candied orange peel and maybe a little grated lemon peel. But I know people who shudder at the idea of raisins in, really, any food item at all. Some people like their cheesecake to be creamy and moist, and - like the recipe above - add extra milk to the quark. A cheesecake like that will be very light coloured in the middle (on my recent trip to Frankfurt, this was the only kind I could find). In general, the darker the drier. Best of luck in your search!
For cases where I’ve seen this and know the answer, you nailed it. No bake whatever are even easier to make and not as rich. I don’t know if anyone actually prefers them but people seem to prefer making them and some people feel less guilty eating them
I am one of those boring people (also a tad autistic) who is so picky that I annoy myself. The cheesecake I like is plain cheesecake (no this or that added) that is very firm and tastes like cheese somewhat with a crumb bottom. Other than that I don’t know. I really like your comment on how it’s to ashamed to admit its identity.
You just have good taste
Thanks! If you like firm cheesecake your might want to learn baking it yourself. The firmness comes from high quark content, which is expensive if you're trying to run a business, so it's increasingly hard to find in mass produced cakes. On the other hand, baking a decent cheesecake on a crumb bottom isn't very hard at all. One way or another, I hope you'll be reunited with your perfect cheesecake :)
