English translation:Polish-English?
Explanation:
Anyway you have two alternatives:
you can translate it - although there is no exact equivalent in English - the closest match is: cheesecake.
OR, you can transliterate it as sernik, and then qualify it with something like: (a type of Polish cheesecake)

Or you could translate it as: Polish cheesecake

That is perhaps what I would do.
