What is the difference between regular and New York Cheesecake?
Well New York Cheesecake is better. Done. Ok, in all seriousness, New York Cheesecake is more rich and usually has more cream cheese and eggs, and adds in sour cream for more creaminess.
What is New York Cheesecake made of?
The pie crust is made from graham cracker crumbs, butter, cinnamon and sugar. The creamy cake is made with cream cheese, sugar, milk, eggs, sour cream, vanilla and flour.
How to Prevent Cheesecake from Cracking
There’s 2 things that will prevent your cheesecake from cracking.
How to Make
Spray a 9 inch springform cheesecake pan, making sure to spray the bottom and the sides completely – this will help to prevent sticking and cracking so make sure to spray it good!
Make the pie crust with crushed graham crackers, melted butter, cinnamon and white sugar. Press into the bottom of your pie pan.
Mix the cream cheese and sugar together using an electric hand mixer.
Add in eggs, milk, sour cream, vanilla and flour and continue mixing until it’s creamy.
Pour this creamy filling into the pan.
Bake the cheesecake in the oven for 1 hour. After 1 hour, turn the oven off completely but don’t take the cake out! Let the cheesecake cool in the oven, with the door closed for 3 hours. This is where the magic happens – trust me.
Serve as is, or add your favorite topping, like cherry pie filling or sliced strawberries.
Place in the refrigerator to chill until you’re ready to serve it. And when it’s time, cut a couple slices and enjoy your New York Cheesecake!
What’s the best way to cut cheesecake?
To cut clean slices of cheesecake, use a hot knife to cut each slice. I like to fill a glass up with hot water and dip the knife blade into it. Alternatively, some people use unflavored dental floss for perfect clean slicing!
Best way to Store Cheesecake
Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate, for up to 1 week. If you don’t use within a week, you can freeze the cheesecake for up to 2 months. Just make sure to thaw at room temperature before serving once you remove from the freezer.
