New York Cheesecake
New York cheesecake became closely associated with the city through delis like Junior's and Lindy's from the mid-20th century onward, its dense, rich style now recognised worldwide as a distinct cheesecake tradition.
A dense, rich baked cheesecake with a smooth, creamy texture and a simple biscuit base — the definitive American style, prized for its indulgent simplicity.
Ingredients
Method
Mix crushed biscuits with melted butter and press firmly into the base of a springform tin.
Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth, then add eggs one at a time, beating well after each.
Stir through sour cream, then pour over the biscuit base.
Bake at 160C for 55-60 minutes until just set with a slight wobble in the centre, then cool completely before chilling overnight.
Avoid overbaking — the centre should still have a gentle wobble when it comes out, as it continues to set while cooling.
