90 minutes
Classic New York cheesecake is a true symbol of American cuisine, originating from New York, where its exquisite taste has won the hearts of gourmets worldwide. The dessert's base consists of a crunchy crust made from crushed cookies soaked in butter, while the delicate cream cheese filling from Philadelphia gives it a velvety texture. The light sweetness of powdered sugar, subtle vanilla aroma, and creamy richness make it an ideal dessert for special occasions. The cheesecake is baked in a water bath to maintain its smoothness and prevent cracks. It can be served chilled and garnished with fresh berries, caramel or chocolate. This dessert embodies the harmony of flavors where the crunchy base contrasts with the airy cheese filling, creating an unforgettable gastronomic delight.

Place in a preheated oven at 160 degrees for 10 minutes. Remove and cool.

Beat the cheese with powdered sugar until smooth and homogeneous. Gradually add cream, eggs, and vanilla. Try not to overbeat the mixture—if it becomes oversaturated with air bubbles, the cheesecake may puff up and crack during baking.

Pour the cheese mixture into the mold.
6
Wrap the form in double layers of foil to prevent liquid from leaking, place it in a larger diameter form, and pour water into the latter until it reaches the middle of the cheesecake form's edges. Send it to a preheated oven at 160 degrees for 1 hour and 20 minutes.

After this time, turn off the oven, slightly open the door, and leave it like that for another hour. Then take out the cheesecake and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

Before serving, run a knife along the edges of the mold, remove the rim, and transfer the cheesecake to a plate. Decorate as desired.
