never really thought about the regional types because all the best cheesecakes I’ve had have been home baked by someone (lucky me!) they’re probably the dense NY style based on the descriptions
i did try fluffy Japanese cheesecake and did enjoy it but as like, its own thing. it should have its own name cuz it’s basically its own dessert
ricotta style probably slaps. gotta try that
these styles are at several places within an hour’s drive
Does it have a hint of lemon? NY cheesecake should have lemon or lemon zest (and cream or sour cream). Sample recipes: one, two, three, crazy four. Philadelphia cheesecake has neither – it is a very simple recipe promoted by Philadelphia Cream Cheese.
I accept a hint of lemon provided it’s VERY subtle (when I bake cheesecake I use a dash of lemon juice. Zest is probably too strong for my cheesecake taste)
