The traditional greek cheesecake used ricotta cheese and these cheesecakes were sweetened with honey and while some used flour blended with the cheese and then baked and some used a crusty base for the cheesecake.

Technically speaking, cheesecakes are a version of pies and not cakes since the base structure is usually unleavened. Most baked varieties of cheesecakes use a custard base for the fillings comprising of milk, sugar, eggs, salt, vanilla, and other flavourings in addition to the cheese.
