New York Cheesecakes originated in, you guessed it, New York City! Specifically, in the 1920s and 30s, when European immigrants brought their own cheesecake recipes to the Big Apple. It wasn't long before their creations evolved into the classic New York Cheesecake we know and love today.
The magic happens when you combine a graham cracker crust with a creamy filling made from cream cheese, eggs, and sugar. But that's not all - a true New York Cheesecake also contains SOUR CREAM, which gives it a tangy twist and a silky smooth texture. Yum!
