What is the difference between New York style cheesecake and regular cheesecake? ›

Regular cheesecake relies on heavy cream and sour cream to thin the batter and create a silkier, creamier texture. New York cheesecake is heavy on the cream cheese which is why it's so dense and rich. Extra cream cheese isn't the only thing that makes New York cheesecake so special.

What does adding an extra egg to cheesecake do? ›

Eggs: Three whole eggs hold the cheesecake together. I also add an extra yolk, which enhances the cake's velvety texture. (Whites tend to lighten the cake, which is actually fine — if you don't feel like separating that fourth egg and don't mind some extra airiness in the texture, just add in the whole egg.)

Which cream cheese is better for cheesecake? ›

Don't try to use low-fat ingredients here, you won't get the same result. You want to use: Full-fat cream cheese that comes in blocks (not the spreadable kind). I love Philadelphia, but have also used other brands like Great Value and Good and Gather with similar results.

Which is better bake or no bake cheesecake? ›

They both are great in their own way. It all narrows down to your personal preferences. If you enjoy dense and velvety cake, a baked cheesecake is the one for you. Or if you crave some light and airy dessert post-dinner, go for the no-bake one.

What is the difference between Italian cheesecake and regular cheesecake? ›

Thanks to the ricotta, its texture is lighter than a New York-style cheesecake, and the orange zest takes the flavor over the top. The flavor of this particular cheesecake is quite similar to the Easter treat, pastiera Napoletana, just without the crust, citron, and grano cotto.

What is the famous cheesecake in New York? ›

Is sour cream or heavy cream better for cheesecake? ›

Sour Cream: This gave it more of a tart taste. This could be utilized if you are going to make a flavored cheesecake where a more tart taste would help the other flavors. I think it would work really well with a lemon or lime flavored cheesecake. Heavy Whipping Cream: This gave it more of a milky taste.

Why put cornstarch in cheesecake? ›

Flour or cornstarch is sometimes included in cheesecake recipes to preventing cracks. If you find that you always have problems with cracking and your cheesecake recipe does not call for any flour or cornstarch, it's ok to experiment and add some cornstarch (one to two tablespoons) to the batter when you add the sugar.

What happens if you put cold eggs in a cheesecake? ›

In the case of cheesecakes and other batters with a high fat content, adding cold eggs could re-harden the fat, making the batter appear curdled or lumpy, possibly affecting the texture of the baked product. To avoid this, make sure you use room temperature eggs for baking.

What makes cheesecake taste so good? ›

The major component of this dessert's delicious flavour is undoubtedly high-quality cream cheese. After that, you add sugar, full cream, or sour cream. For a baked variant, some recipes ask for eggs and flour, while those for unbaked cheesecakes call for gelatin or its plant-based equivalent (agar-agar).

What are the characteristics of a good cheesecake? ›

One of the best things about cheesecake is the texture: velvety, smooth, thick, creamy, and with a beautiful melt-in-the-mouth sweetness. Without these characteristics, cheesecake would miss the air of indulgence we know and love.

Which baking method is best for cheesecake? ›

To bake cheesecake, bakers use a bain-marie, or water bath, to gently cook the dessert in the oven. Once the cheesecake has firm edges with a slight jiggle, the bakers place it in the refrigerator to chill and achieve its signature creamy consistency.

Is sour cream or whipping cream better for cheesecake? ›

The addition of cream gives a velvety, smooth texture, but too much of it and you begin to mask the cream cheese flavor. Sour cream supports the underlying tang of the cream cheese, but, if overdone, it takes over as the dominant flavor. You need a little of each -- cream for texture and sour cream for flavor.
