Hi Jim and welcome to Chef Talk.

I'm moving your question to the Pastry and Baking General forum where it'll get the attention and answers you're hoping for.

We hope you come on back to the Welcome Forum to introduce yourself.

Welcome!

Cheesecake is actually classified as a baked custard, like a creme brulee or a flan.

Yep. It's a custard pie. Check out the transcript of Alton Brown's episode on cheesecake at http://www.goodeatsfanpage.com/GEFP/index.htm, just click on "The Trouble With Cheesecake." Interesting discussion.
