New York Cheesecake Recipe

[Amtrakify]

This cheesecake is the best in the world. I made this last night for dessert.

[freitasex]

@Amtrakify

I give you a generous thank you! 

[Puddin360]

You make this look so easy!

[freitasex]

@Puddin360

It is easy, thanks!

[sesanner]

Hours (alright, three days) before 2012, I chance upon wonderful Michael paired with deeply rich New York Cheesecake, some of the most exciting music in infinity, and a lively black kitten.

How could 2011 possibly close on a finer note?

(When I was still in high school and finally got my driver's license, I soon found the restaurant that specialized in New York cheesecake. Certainly not as inviting, Michael, as yours, but pretty damned good for high school, eh?)

Very best to you, sir!

[freitasex]

@sesanner

I hope this new year is your best ever!

[hanahgirl2001]

Who else wanted some New York cheesecake after watching this video?

[freitasex]

@hanahgirl2001

Honestly, I do not know.

[hanahgirl2001]

@freitasex LOL

[misssookie1988]

what is your favoret thing to make

[freitasex]

@misssookie1988

That is a difficult question, but I like your question!

I would say normal things..... easy dinner would be Stromboli... that is my 1st video

More involved dinner would be .... Lamb Shanks

My favorite dessert... Carrot Cake ... with Red Velvet Cake being a very strong 2nd choice.

Of course you can find all recipes here on YouTube!

[mtek6126]

nice:D

[UMadUJelly]

You've inspired me. Thank you.

[freitasex]

@UMadUJelly

Thank you!

[Amtrakify]

Benson was such a cute baby,

[freitasex]

@Amtrakify

Yes, and he is still cute in my opinion, lol.

[Amtrakify]

@freitasex Wonderful. Cute kittens are wonderful to cuddle. They smell good and they are cute and cuddly. Sam is two years old and he is young but he is not a kitten. We got Sam in September. I have a picture of Oreo when she was a small kitten. Oreo is one year older than I am so she was 15 when she died. The picture was taken before I was born. I also like new real babies. I love to cuddle them and rock them.

[Amtrakify]

@freitasex wonderful. Sam is the same age as Benson. We got him on September 19, 2011. Sam is very cute. He loves to run. He loves prams. (He lies in my old one every day.) LOL. What is Benson's favorite thing in the house?

[freitasex]

@Amtrakify

I would say his fav thing is the food bowl :)

2nd, is his cat tree.

[MissPonderosa]

omg this looks amazing!

[freitasex]

@MissPonderosa

Well thank you... you MissPonderosa, you are amazing!

[PSJish]

Thanks

[Ihavenocontrol]

This is the first time I ever saw your face, and I really honestly thought you were like 25-30 just based off of your voice in your other videos.

Keep up the good work, I really enjoy your recipies (:

[freitasex]

@Ihavenocontrol

No.... I am an old fart :)

[PSJish]

If I don't have a mixer, can I use blender?

[freitasex]

@PSJish

Yes, a blender would be fine.

[PSJish]

Is it salt of unsalt butter?

[freitasex]

@PSJish

I used butter with salt.

I do not think that it is important or matters if the butter has salt or not though.

Thank you for your question!

Sour cream yes, really do need that.

Thanks!

Wow, I am so happy that we are not neighbors, lol.

Just Kidding, thank you very much :)

[Krontix]

I love the way you thing, let just make in her so i don't need to wash as much dishes ( :

[SoovieFilmsPro]

I just finished making this, going to let it cool off, and then put in the fridge over night for Christmas Dinner tomorrow. I put some Huckleberry marbling into the top of the cheesecake before cooking it. I'll let you know how it was sometime. Perhaps later tomorrow night.

[paigepenales]

has anyone tried this?? is it good?

[Kzer210506]

@paigepenales IT'S *******AWESOME :D

[Luc3r01]

hehehe i like it when you say " Thanks so much for watching" with your mouth full hahaha

[Ferdie1985]

Awwww kitty!!! that freakin' cheesecake looks awesome -_-

[freitasex]

@Ferdie1985

Thank you very much!

[Kzer210506]

Um... How do you make a one-person filling? i mean, im 16 and my parents hate sweet stuff.. so... Do i quarter it or half? Please reply >< i really need to eat this... It's terrifically WONDERFUL :D

[freitasex]

@Kzer210506

What I would do is find a small pie plate and make a 1/4 recipe ... you will have 2 large servings that way.

I would check it in the oven at 30 minutes to see if it is setting up and done.... just a little jiggly in the center is what you want.... I am not sure how long to bake it because I have never made a 1/4 recipe of this.

Thank you for your question!

[Mizz08Pimp]

Awww great Job :)

[envictoria81]

mmmmmmm

[skarabim]

Homie, it looks wonderful!!

[NeverLostYou]

"its all golden brown"

But it already was to begin with, lol

[navykangaroo]

ok, thanks :-)

[navykangaroo]

i was wondering if it would be possible to add a layer of chocolate or peanut butter. would you recommend just adding it to the top and letting it chill (like you did with the strawberry)? or adding it to the cheesecake mixture before baking?

[freitasex]

@navykangaroo

I think it would need to be added before baking ... like a swirl.

I am "thinking about" making a peanut butter one.

I did buy some more cream cheese just yesterday.... it may happen if I am not lazy.

[JunjouRomantica4eva]

what can you use instead of orange juice?

[freitasex]

@JunjouRomantica4eva

If you do not want to use orange juice, just leave the topping off.

You can use a canned pie filling if you like to replace it or just leave the cheesecake plain.

[AllenTax]

I use Phili cream cheese. And as say to store cheesecake mix is.....often disgusting. I don't know why they...don't get...like a clue. Sane for store cakes and ice cream cakes. There frosting is often disgusting..un eddiable... ya know ya think someone tell them this.

[miamiron]

Outstanding job...thank you

[kanm20]

Se ve riquiiisimo  gracias por la receta

[Kzer210506]

ME SEE YOU TUMMY >D IM HUNGRY!~

[shaboopie12]

oh that was wonderful thank you for the recipe you showed every little detail i really like that

[crazypoulada]

you seem to be a quiet person and a gentle personality. I love all of your recipes. Seriously!

[freitasex]

@crazypoulada

Well thank you!

I do not like confrontations.

It takes alot to get me upset and angry.

It also takes time for me to get angry and then time to get over it.

I like to be quiet and I am happy to be alone and do not need much attention to tell you truth.

I think you have read me very well.

[SirGomez81]

My mouth is drooling, haha. Very nice video.

[freitasex]

@SirGomez81

Thank you very much!

[MissLeo5]

i have a request.. can you do a video on cajun boiling crab (crawfish) louisiania and mississippi style. thanks.

[freitasex]

@MissLeo5

To do that I would need fresh crawfish and those are not available here, sorry.

[MissLeo5]

@freitasex oh i see.. thanks though.. keep up on what you do best.. thanks for all the tutorial..

[khunchaa]

absolutley beautifully done! weldone mate. i cant wait till i make one of those but the problem is that cheesecakes are very fatenning lol

[freitasex]

@khunchaa

Thank you very much!

[Witchyone131]

You remind me of an actor... His name escapes me... Hmmmm Micheal Kane. I think that's his name.

Anywho nice to meet you and have a face to a voice :-)

[freitasex]

@Witchyone131

Wow, thank you!

[xtcmaster666]

man that looks so good. love the music in the bg also

[freitasex]

@xtcmaster666

Thanks!

[slmaia]

Looks DELICIOUS!! Thank youuu!!  A little quick tip some people might find helpful - use the butter wrapper to rub on the inside of your tin before discarding it - saves you having to get the pastry brush out :)

[freitasex]

@slmaia

What a great tip, thank you!

[winki07]

ah.... just now saw the small cute cat.

[winki07]

Thanks for the wonderful recipe. Also nice that you wrote the whole recipe. Going to make it. Not sure if I can purchase Graham Crackers (is that a British product because we have a lot of British stores in the Netherlands), but otherwise I crack some biscuits.

[freitasex]

@winki07

Biscuits would be great for the crust :)

[winki07]

@freitasex grazie mille ;-)

[supercooled]

I love cheesecake but I also love to keep my slim figure. Is there anyway to sacrifice some of the fats like sour cream and butter without sacrificing much of the taste? I saw one recipe using only cream cheese and and condensed milk.

[freitasex]

@supercooled

I would buy the lite cream cheese and lite sour cream to cut the fat that way.

Thanks for your question!

[vnck25]

@supercooled

Why bother, you are not going to live for 200 or 450 years correct. Mostly it will be around 80 or something! My advice is just go ahead and eat it as it, and burn the fat!

I am assuming that you are not going to eat cheesecake everyday ha ha ha

[ShrivyShrivey]

@supercooled The body needs some fat. If your going for low fat then you should also remove the crumbs from the bottom.

[dominicanmella]

it looks rely good

[freitasex]

@dominicanmella

Thank you :)



[punkrevo]

Hoooooooooooo! Cute kitty!^^

[punkrevo]

[ginoeyanes07]

[freitasex]

@raysoch

Wow, thank you very much :)

[hotbabenana]

Awesome!! That looks amasing! Do you have to put the sour cream in it! Thanks for the great videos

[freitasex]

@hotbabenana

Yes this version requires sour cream.

Thanks for your question and subscribing too!

[UnknownJesterX]

Great video! I think I'm going to try to make the same exact one.

[freitasex]

@UnknownJesterX

If you do, please let me know what you think!

[therockforever2]

in england we stick the base together by combineding golden syrup and a cookie like graham crackers called digestive biscuits.

[freitasex]

@therockforever2

Golden syrup sounds incredible and decadent, don't know what that is, but it sounds fabulous.

Digestive biscuits.... sounds like a stomach/colon helper LOL

Of course graham crackers are awesome!

Thank you for your comment... you made me *smile*

[ataliatole]

This cheesecake looks delicious I haven't tried making it yet, but with my experience making cheesecakes, I always end up with a cake that shrinks after it cools. How do you make sure the cake stays nice and tall(high) ????

[freitasex]

@ataliatole

Um, I don't know what to say to that.

Honestly, I have never had one that shrank.

I make sure all the ingredients are room temperature before I start making it, perhaps?

Thanks!

[sizefourr]

Hi could you make a video on how to make a no bake strawberry cheesecake please?

[egin222]

[benghaith]

Wonderful!! The best cheese cake ever

Thank you

[freitasex]

@benghaith

Thank you!

[Zouhira1]

I followed your receipies to make cheesecake step by step. It came out very delecious, but I think I shouldn't cook it in a glass pan because it sticks in the bottom and it was hard for me to cut it into pieces. Thank you again for sharing your receipies .

[jeremybalce]

hahahaha for some reason, you remind me of don vito, lol

[freitasex]

Sounds okay with me lol!

[freitasex]

It is very easy.. and thanks for subscribing!

[chris09jazz]

Good god all mighty, that looks good! You made it look very easy to make but I think I would not have had the strawberries on top.

Great job, I'm going to try it, but I think I just gained ten pounds just watching this video. Its worth it, thanks.

[freitasex]

You don't have to make the strawberry topping.

You could also buy a can of cherry or blueberry pie filling and top the cheese cake with that!

Thanks!

[dramachef]

i would love u can show me how to make chewy brownies which u can freeze it n thaw it n eat it

[CookingEasyWithMera]

Cheesecake....one of my favorites!

Yum :)

[bayani21]

looks absolutely delicious!!! simple and easy to follow the steps on video and recipes.

[freitasex]

Thank you very much!

[avsiii]

What makes the "New York Cheese Cake" New York?

Some people say the one that I make is a "New York" type of cheese cake, just because I use a gram-cracker crust.

Is that right?

[Chantsblog]

Wow, thank you!

[jakefightie]

[freitasex]

Let it cook for 3 hours, then put into the refrigerator to cool over night... or at least 4 hours.

You can use blueberry or cherry pie filling that you can buy in cans to top it!

[freitasex]

I mean cool for 2 or 3 hours, sorry!
