In my humble opinion, a classic New York style cheesecake is one of the best desserts in the world. But, even though it is a simple dessert, I feel like most cheesecakes and cheesecake recipes simply dont hit the mark. But worry not, I have created for you the best cheesecake recipe you will ever eat. It is insanely creamy, decadent and delicious. You will never need another recipe.
The fat content helps the cheesecake set and creates its signature creamy texture. If you’ve ever made cheesecake that was runny, it’s very likely that low-fat ingredients are to blame. Full fat sour cream adds extra moisture and a tangy flavor to the cake.
WHAT MAKES THIS THE BEST CHEESECAKE RECIPE?
Here is why this cheesecake is truly the best you will ever eat or make:
- It is simple and no-fuss. There are no fancy ingredients or complicated steps. All it takes is a little patience and you get rewarded with delicious yumminess
- The flavor is DIVINE. It is perfectly balanced: the cream cheese flavor shines without being over-powering, it isnt too sweet, and it has a touch of sourness that complements the cream cheese flavor and adds a beautiful freshness. In my opinion, it doesnt need any other flavor or topping as it is perfect in itself
- The texture is SUBLIME. This is what truly sets apart this cheesecake. It is not eggy, dry, or dense. Instead, it is creamy, melt-y, and rich. You will understand what I mean when you taste it! Just look at the pictures below to get an idea of the texture…
Decorate with whipped cream
The cheesecake is covered with simple, whipped heavy cream (no sugar). This is optional, and you can also play around with other toppings such as sour cream or jams.
(Inside story: I covered my cheesecake with whipped cream only to hide my accidental smearing of red strawberry color in different spots… turned out, piped cream looks really good!)
