Good NY cheesecake is hella smooth. The recipe I have has you let the batter drain through a sieve to get rid of extra air bubbles and it comes out fan-fucking-tastic.
I don’t know what this post was about in the first place anymore.
I’ve never had NY cheesecake. I might have to try it sometime though.
We’re arguing about whether or not cheescake is pie or cake or something else.
My husband says “neither.” I’m thinking that might be both.
Though really: it’s a custard filling on top a crust. It’s a pie. You even prebake the crust.
But it’s also a pie in the same way a hot dog is a sandwich. Technicality.
(it might also be a cake)
Cheesecake is not custard though. Custard has an egg base. Cream cheese amd sour cream base is not the same thing.
