New York Cheesecake
A classic New York cheesecake is one of the most iconic desserts around. A crisp Graham cracker crust is filled with the creamiest, richest vanilla cheesecake, with a silky texture and just the right amount of tang. A proper New York cheesecake should be dense without being airy, but still creamy rather than dry.

Basque Burnt Cheesecake
Basque burnt cheesecake is a delicious dessert with a creamy, custard-like center and a beautifully caramelized top. The cheesecake is baked under high heat, which gives it its distinctive dark color and a slightly burnt flavor that contrasts perfectly with the creamy interior. This cheesecake is an excellent choice for novice bakers as it requires only five simple ingredients and does not need a water bath. Moreover, its rustic appearance makes it forgiving of imperfections.
