Send pics of you and your wife fighting while involving said cheesecake plz.

Pastries contain sweetened and baked dough. Cheesecakes usually don't involve baking.

However, a pastry chef would definitely be in charge of making cheesecakes in most restaurants.

A crust doesn't make something a pastry imo. I'm going with no.

 

[Zax0r]

No. Where is the pastry? The bottom layer is biscuits.

 

[El_Dyablo619]

No, it's a custard.

He's right. According to Alton Brown it is a custard.
You could get away with pie... but not a pastry

 

[DrVanNostrand]

[Kalmah]

It's a custard. Sometimes the bottom layer is made with pastry dough though.
