Almost all cheesecakes are rich and decadent, but New York cheesecake takes it to the next level!
This ultra-indulgent version relies on lots of cream cheese, heavy whipping cream and eggs to achieve that signature silky-smooth taste.
All of these ingredients also make New York cheesecake so tall.
Standard cheesecake recipes are maybe an inch.
Cheesecake is a rich and creamy dessert and I promise it's not that hard to make.
