new_york_cheese_cake

I’m back! After a week spent in fabulous New York City I am back to the blogosphere and ready to get back into the recipe groove. My husband and I had so many fun and exciting experiences, including partaking of oodles and oodles of delicious food. This week on the blog I am fully dedicating the posts to our amazing trip and to some of our favorite dishes we enjoyed while there. Here’s to you, New York! Thanks for a wonderful week!

And a happy Memorial Day to everyone as well! We sure are grateful for all those men and women who have sacrificed their lives for our freedom. We were lucky to have been in New York City during Fleet Week, and on the Hudson River during the parade of ships to see the men and women in their uniforms come under the bridge from the Atlantic Ocean on all of their ships. All of them saluting the Statue of Liberty and Ground Zero as they went by each. It was a pretty amazing experience. I hope you have a great day with your families celebrating this very special day.

The first of many favorite dishes is a no brainer. You can’t go to New York and not eat a slice of famous New York cheesecake. The smooth and creamy texture is like a sweet song in my mouth. Today I’d like to share not only one recipe but three recipes for New York cheesecake. That way you can check out all the ingredients and decide which one sounds the best to you. Or make all three and pick a favorite, that’s what I would do!

All three recipes come from Moms Who Think. And all three contributors swear by their recipes!

New York Cheesecake #1

Ingredients

  • 1/3 c. butter, melted
  • 1 1/2 c. cinnamon graham cracker crumbs

  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Combine graham cracker crumbs and butter; press evenly on the bottom of a 9 inch pie pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until fluffy. Gradually add the sweetened condensed milk, beating until smooth.
  3. Add vanilla and eggs, mix well. Pour into prepared pie pan. Bake for 1 hour, then turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside. Prop the door open slightly for an additional hour. Refrigerate at least 6 hours until firm.

New York Cheesecake #2
