The one I made on Come Dine With Me was also one of the best cheesecakes I made. They didn’t show you all the clips but it was so good some of my fellow contestants even asked for seconds. Although I love that one, I think this one is just as good.
New York Style Cheesecake
My hubby is really fussy about his cheesecake. He only has a couple of favourites so when he said he couldn’t get enough of this one that was a positive. Cheesecakes sounds intimidating I know. But trust me it is fairly easy to make. If I say that you must know I mean it. I am a home cook just like you. It’s taken me forever to perfect simple things so when I say something is easy I mean it. As I have said in other posts I try and keep things simple. If changing temperatures of an oven is going to give you a 1% lighter texture I would rather not change temperatures. For me it’s about making life easy. I hate it when people that are not experts try to sound like an expert by complicating stuff. So many recipes say use one temperature and then lower the temperature. Trust me baking this cheesecake at one slightly lower temperature works perfectly fine. Yes I am a rebel. I don’t follow the norm. For me, life is complicated enough so I don’t want to cause chaos in the kitchen too.
If I want to bake a cake and eat it I want to be able to do it without any fuss or trying to act like a scientist. After all no chef at a Michelin star restaurant is going to look at my recipes or try, it’s mostly home cooks, like myself. And trust me unless you have dreams of entering Masterchef you are not going to care about the subtle differences. Now let me tell you how to make this decadently delicious, uncomplicated cheesecake. And yes, it is light, rich, creamy and melt in your mouth delicious. I have eaten other New York Style Cheesecakes so I know when it’s good.
Ingredients Required
For this cheesecake you will need tennis or digestive biscuits, butter, cream cheese, castor sugar, eggs, flour, fresh cream, sour cream and vanilla essence
How to make this cheesecake
Firstly you will process the biscuits into fine crumbs and mix in the melted butter. Pat it into the bottom of a loose bottom pan. Then beat the cream cheese and add the other ingredients. Pour into the base and bake in a water bath The cheesecake does need to be refrigerated overnight for best results. I know this requires a bit of patience but trust me it will be worth it.
