Lucinda's New York-Style Cheesecake

 

Photo source:  Martha Stewart

"New York-style cheesecake is a super simple dessert that is even creamier and denser than a classic cheesecake. You’ll be hard-pressed to find someone who doesn’t love it, even outside of New York.

There are only two components to cheesecake, and our recipe has perfected both. A silky sweet filling is essential, but a sturdy, well-baked crust is arguably the most important part, as it makes the cheesecake easier to slice. This cheesecake requires only about an hour of oven time, but you’ll need to set aside another eight hours for it to thoroughly set up in the refrigerator before digging in. We can assure you—it's most certainly worth the wait." Comment Martha Stewart.com

This creamy, delicious looking cheesecake is ready for a strawberry topping!

"Ah, cannoli cheesecake. It’s a no-bake dessert for those days when you can’t be bothered to put a lot of work into baking. Yet it yields such rich results, you’d never know it took less than 30 minutes to prep.

This refreshing dessert fuses the cannoli, beloved among Italian baking recipes, with the ever-popular classic cheesecake.

Cut as big of a slice as you want, then save the rest for tomorrow’s dessert—if you can wait that long."  Comment from Taste of Home

"This pecan cheesecake pie looks like a classic pecan pie at first glance, but cut in, and you'll find a layer of cheesecake that magically rests between a traditional, gooey pecan pie filling and crunchy pecan topping. Pecan pie may be "the South's most popular pie," but this version balances the rich sweetness of the original with its tangy cheesecake filling, and brings it all together with a buttery, flaky crust for an irresistible end to any meal. With only 15 minutes of prep time, you'll be making this pie all season long."  Comment from Southern Living

Pecan cheesecake pie looks beyond delicious.  This pie is genius.  I have no words!

Another recipe to add to my cheesecake collection!

I think in another life I owned a bakery that specializes in cheesecake.  They are my favorite!  There was a time when everyone got a gift of some type of cheesecake for special occasions.  Cheesecake type of desserts are what I always bring to a party.

I can't wait to try this recipe to see if it really tastes like a churro, which is another one of my favorite dessert snacks.  They look more like cheesecake bars than cheesecake, but that won't stop me from making it!  Actually, I prefer cheesecake bars to take to a party.
