Here are my Pinterest boards:
Pies and Tarts Cakes and Cupcakes Cheesecakes and Creamy Desserts
So in my mind, they are in a category all their own.

This discussion makes me think about pudding. What we call/consider pudding in the US is very different than what people in the UK consider pudding. As in, they are two completely different dishes. Our pudding is what Brits would probably call a custard of sorts, and most of UK pudding dishes are closer to what we would call a bread pudding. No, pudding is the sweet thing you eat after the main course? In this house, anyway. And desserts are fancy sweet things. Cheesecake definitely isn't pie. Is cake the opposite of pie? Is there a third option?

Cheesecake is neither pie or cake. It is cheesecake. Unique. A category of its own being.

No, pudding is the sweet thing you eat after the main course? In this house, anyway. And desserts are fancy sweet things. Cheesecake definitely isn't pie. Is cake the opposite of pie? Is there a third option? Cake here = Sponge to you all. So, not close to cheesecake and different from pie. Pie for us is a crust that is filled with something soft and sweet - could be fruit, could be custard (including custard with nuts like pecan pie), could be meringue. Hence many US peas thinking cheesecake being closer to pie than cake. Pies here tend to be a few inches deep with smooth sides that are wider at top and smaller at the bottom - the circle at the bottom of the pie plate is smaller than at the top. On British Baking Show when they made what they were calling an American pie, what they actually produced looked much more like what we would call a tarte with vertical/non-sloping sides that were fairly shallow. I think cheesecake is its own category. Maybe that is the 3rd option. 🤔

Pudding is just what you have after a meal, the question 'what's for pudding'? can be answered in many ways. It could be sponge and custard or it could be trifle or yogurt or fruit and cream or a slice of cake with a cup of tea or it could be cheesecake.

I was going by what they produced for British Baking Show when asked to make a pudding. They baked the things that are made that contain flour, are wrapped, and then steamed. I’ll have to stop relying on them for info and learn to trust the peas! It sounds like “pudding” is a synonym for “dessert” for y’all, not a specific dish. For us, pudding is always like a soft custard, and we wouldn’t use the word in place of “dessert.”
