Is there a Greek Cheesecake?

Do Greeks make cheesecake? I see recipes that involve ingredients like Greek yogurt, but I am not sure these are actually Greek.

Most recipes seem to use a combination of Greek yogurt and cream cheese, maybe some cream and eggs.

Also, some of these recipes top the cheesecake with crumbled baklava pieces!

Does anyone know of a good recipe to try for this cheesecake?

Yes, Greeks make cheesecake, and they are just like cheesecake all over the rest of the world.. my mother-in-law makes them with some kind of fruit sauce on top of them. The "baklava cheesecake" is an American thing.

Yes they do. For some reason they like to eat non baked cheesecake more so than the baked one.

Fascinating! I will have to watch for this while in Greece.

I am very fascinated by the Greek no-bake cheesecake concept. I want to try to find a recipe - I will post a separate thread about it.
