New York Cheesecake

Cookbook | Recipes | Ingredients | Equipment | Techniques | Cookbook Disambiguation Pages | Recipes | Dessert | Cake | New York City cuisine Arnold Reuben, owner of Turf Restaurant at 49th and Broadway in New York City, developed the recipe for New York cheesecake in 1929 after eating a slice of cheese pie at a friend's home. He altered his hostess’ recipe and eventually developed his own version of cheesecake which relies on cream cheese rather than cottage cheese as most other bakeries did at the time. Reuben then served his new creation in his restaurant which became a hit in no time. The below recipe makes a firm and heavy cheesecake, nicely flavored with lemon. It is very important to avoid over beating the ingredients in order to avoid cracks.
