Which cheese is often used in desserts such as tiramisu and cheesecake?

I always thought cream cheese was used in cheesecake

Zoidberg, I made a cheesecake years ago and I believe that I used cream cheese. Turned out good.

Tiramisu...mmm, tasty!

Zoidberg, You maybe thinking of traditional or so-called American cheesecake. There is such a thing as Italian cheesecake. it has a different texture.

I have a book with over 100 recipes for Cheesecake. One is even prepared in a flower Pot. Different Types of cheeses are also used.

Philadelphia is great in Cheesecake! But it is possible to use Other cheeses in Cheesecake!

love the mascarpone and brie and cream cheese as well as havarti, gouda,..ok I like em all except mite cheese!
