not eat again today.>>>
I don't remember the few medieval cheesecakes as being heavy, but I
suspect some of this depends upon individual taste. Also since you
often aren't given the measurements, you do have some latitude in
changing the amounts, and I assume the redactors of the recipes I
have, have changed things to their tastes. However, here are some
period cheesecake recipes you might wish to try, including the
commentary about them.

Of course you won't find any "chocolate-covered espresso bean"
versions in here.
<<< (oh, I also DID score the hazelnuts-in-shell I was looking for at
the Market, tried a taste of their ground hazelnut pesto-- I have
NEVER tasted pesto in 64 years, but just bought myself a plant >>>
Are pesto type sauces period? What makes a pesto sauce different from
any other period, or modern, green sauce?
Maybe you could make one of these, eventually, with some of your new
plant.
