Cheesecakes

Cheesecake comes in so many varieties. My personal favorite is NY Style Cheesecake with its super rich, very heavy texture. Chocolate cheesecake comes in a close second and any type of cheesecake with fresh fruit toppings like strawberries are almost a tie. As you can tell cheesecake is definitely high up on my list of favorites.

The key to baking cheesecakes is to cook them slowly in a spring form pan. Allow it to cool almost to room temperature before refrigerating. There is nothing worse than seeing your lovely cheesecake crack through the middle because it was cooked too quickly. (Still tastes great though and gives me a reason to eat extra as I would not want to serve the less than perfect pieces :-).

Besides the types listed above I have seen recipes for cheescake from Amaretto Cheesecake with Raspberry Sauce to Cheddar Chili Cheesecake. Now I do have to tell you that the Cheddar Chili Cheesecake just does not appeal to me most of the others in the Deliciously Decadent Cheescake Recipes book.
