Cheesecake
Limited nutritional benefit
Baked New York-style cream cheese filling on a graham cracker crust.
New York-style cheesecake is a dense filling of cream cheese, sugar, eggs and sour cream baked slowly on a graham cracker crust and chilled until firm. It is high in fat, much of it saturated, and high in added sugar, with only a little protein. A 125 g slice is about 400 kcal, so a slice half that size served with fresh berries keeps it near 200 kcal.
