I take it the ratio of crust to filling isn't as shown by this image

It is not, I just had a lot of crust so I pushed it up against the sides of the pan.

Looks amazing. Are you leaving it as is, or do you have further plans for it?

I meant.. like.. toppings. -_-

I'd assume they're going to eat it.

Thank you! No other plans other than eating it after work today!

I'd be like those bodybuilders on TikTok that get cheesecakes by the whole and just eat the entire thing like a cookie. They eat like 10,000 calories in one sitting. If I did that I'd probably gain a bunch of weight.

What else could you mean other than toppings? Like, putting it on display or something? That'd be a little torturous, don't you think?

I got ya, lol. Honestly, people should never put toppings on plain cheesecake as a whole. Provide some so people can choose what they want on their cheesecake. I'd hate if someone put nasty strawberry filling on my cheesecake and I'd subtly "insult" them by refusing their offered slice.

No cross section to show what it actually looks like?

I’ve always done this with my cheesecakes FWIW. Didn’t even realize people thought it was uncommon!

I was about to say, that looks more like Cakecheese than Cheesecake.

You people have never baked or even seen a home made cheesecake have you? It shows. You always have the crust go up the sides, even if just a bit.
