cheesecake
Dense cream pie
Cheesecake is a rich dessert with a dense, creamy filling made from soft cheese, eggs, and sugar on a crust of crushed cookies or pastry: New York cheesecake is famous for its dense texture.
The term also refers to photographs emphasizing a woman's physical attractiveness, especially legs—the counterpart to beefcake for men.
This sense is dated but still understood.
