Ingredients


Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. For New York Style Cheesecake omit lemon juice and sour cream.

Mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter and press into the bottom of a 12" springform pan. Beat the 4 packages of cream cheese until fluffy. Gradually add the condensed milk and beat until smooth. Add the 1/3 cup of flour, the eggs and vanilla and mix well.

Pour into the pan and bake 1 hour until lightly browned. The center may not seem completely set. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack until completely cool. Run a knife around the edge of the cake but do not remove the rim. Chill for several hours or over night. Remove the rim and slice into small pieces.This cake will provide 12 to 16 pieces. Top with your favorite fruit if desired.

For a lighter, lemony cheesecake - preheat oven to 300 degrees. Make the crust as instructed above. Beat 2 - 8 oz. packages of cream cheese. Add 14 oz. of sweetened condensed milk, 3 eggs, the lemon juice and sourcream. Pour into pan and bake for 50 to 55 minutes unti the cake springs back when lightly touched. Follow the same directions above for cooling, chilling, and serving.

Delicious! Thanks for sharing this recipe.

The most recent reviewer is correct on both counts! The directions do not say what to do with the sugar...and the sugar does indeed belong in the crust. Thank you for pointing that out. On another note- this recipe makes a New York "Style" cheesecake that is much more dense than the light and fluffy ones that are often seen. Although not an authentic New York Cheesecake, it is quite good. I have been making it for many years and have received countless requests for the recipe. It always turns out perfect and is always a huge hit at my house!

I loved this recipe but I am unsure as to one thing, it calls for 1/4 cup of sugar, where does the sugar go, in the crust or the cake itself. I made it and put it in the crust but I would like to now the exact place for it.

I made this cheesecake with chocolate graham crackers on half and regular graham crackers on half. It was a great hit with the whole family.

Wow! I made this for my mom for her birthday and everybody fell in love. They actually chose the cheesecake over the DQ cake! I am not a dessert eater and I had to limit myself to two pieces or I may have eaten the entire cake. Having a wheat intolerance this would not have left me feeling well but would have been totally worth it! I am going to make this again for my sister's birthday but am going to modify it b/c she wants hers to be chocolate NY cheesecake.

While this may make a very nice cake, I just have a comment from over 35 yrs in the restaurant industry - true New York style cheesecake does NOT use a graham cracker crust! It's crust is made from butter and flour!

This recipe should say 1-1/4 cups of graham cracker crumbs. I can't seem to get it to say that. Help!
