I have never had New York Cheesecake before. I always eat a chocolate mousse or chocolate cake and nothing else.
When I came across this recipe for New York Cheesecake I wanted to give it a try as I had all ingredients on hand. It was also an easy way to use all the cream cheese I had.
I so did the right thing. Seriously.. this is one yummy dessert. I am regretting for not having tried cheesecake in the past. It is so rich and creamy, sweet yet slightly sour.
Yummy. I had very few blueberries at home and I made a sauce using them.
My husband loved the sauce the most. next time I bake this I will add a thicker crust as both I and my husband loved the crust too. I prefer these individual cheesecakes to making one large cheesecake.
Next time I will also make a batch of bite sized cheesecake using my mini muffin pan. I will update when I make them.
