New York City and cheesecake go together like tourists and Times Square. But what’s so special about this big city treat? While we will happily devour all types of cheesecake, New York–style cheesecake is particularly famous for its smooth, creamy texture. Normally the process of making cheesecake is a bit complicated and not the most kid friendly. But in true New York fashion, we’ve found a delicious shortcut! These tasty Mini Cheesecakes are fuss-free, fabulous, and a perfect recipe for beginners — no water bath required. Feel free to crumble fresh graham crackers on top, or use a whole vanilla wafer for a show-stopping finish. Are you ready for a sweet bite of the Big Apple? It’s time to get baking!
