Food Wishes Recipes - New York Style Cheesecake Recipe - Sunshine Cheesecake Recipe

[dmuneca]

if i dont want to add the zests is that ok? I want to make this for my family, but I just do not want to add the orange, will it ruin the "original new york" taste?

[MsBritneyFan101]

@dmuneca I've tried this and EVERY recipe requires the zests. You don't taste it so I don't know what would happen if you don't use them. But I suggest just putting in a little as thats part of the ''New York'' style cheesecake.

[1raychel4]

your for makes me drooooool @__@

[Havockeer]

Let's say that I'm hypothetically British and unable to get my hands on graham crackers - could I use digestive biscuits, or will I be brutally murdered for even suggesting such a thing?

[bubbleboo06]

@Havockeer they're practically the same thing. they taste pretty much alike

[ProserpinaAeternus]

@bubbleboo06 thank you for your answer. i really didn't know because not all of cheese can go in the oven, some don't react as well as others....

[konekopanda]

@Havockeer look for other cheesecake recipes on youtube, some say you can cuz i'm guessing it's generally the same thing :)

[LaGitana87]

@Havockeer You can, I'm an American living in Egypt and that's what I do.

[LinetteKTang]

@Havockeer I heard if people using digestive biscuits before. (: you should try it, I'm pretty sure it'll work

[ProserpinaAeternus]

CAN I REPLACE THE CREAM CHEESE WITH MASCARPONE CHEESE?? I WANT TO MAKE THE CAKE, I DON'T HAVE CREAM CHEESE I CAN'T FIND IT ANYWHERE..THANK YOU

[jwheat65]

@ProserpinaAeternus My ear plugs are in now. What were you saying?

[cugui3]

@ProserpinaAeternus creme cheese as known also as philadelphia cheese :)

[ProserpinaAeternus]

@cugui3 thank you for your answer. but can you tell me please which kind of philadelphia cheese? because we only have the ones that you can spread on bread with vegetables and stuff....should i buy the original one? or the light one? or the nutella one? we don't have it like they do in the videos...in that big packaging....it;s different...do you live in europe?

[cugui3]

@ProserpinaAeternus where exactly are you from? :) let me send you a picture, and i do apologize i live in central america in a tiny country :),

you must have to buy the original one, without any other flavor, :)

[ProserpinaAeternus]

@cugui3 I live in Belgium. Thanks again for answering. :) I will buy the original one then.

[cugui3]

@ProserpinaAeternus that so cool :) youre very welcome

[TheMrpalid]

These videos are really not helping with my diet, lol

[jrothstein1]

Would this work with creme' fraiche instead of sour creme?

[tigran914]

Instead of sour cream can I just use regular cream?

[MrStefanVidovic]

@tigran914 you can use greek yogurt. healthy alternative.

[tigran914]

@MrStefanVidovic thanks, don't much like Sour Cream

[guguigugu]

SO WANT!! uhh... hold the fruity crap

[lanonas2000]

I love this video! I love that you did not cover up that crack... that sounds weird somehow. This is perfect!

[HeyLookItsAmy]

This is the best video I watched of yours :)

[staboymalibu94]

Wait... What's this noise? Oh, It's my sexy noise. Why do I watch this at 12:54 pm?????? Why?!!!!

[ForTehWin12]

Never use photoshop again chef john....

[music84183]

I love new york.. i live in europe.. damn..

[lhencram0079]

Yum..

(drooooooollllllling while watching) O.o

[ProserpinaAeternus]

can I put mascarpone cheese in stead of philadelphia?

[TheParisIvy]

@ProserpinaAeternus Oh yes. I think that'd taste wonderful.

[BarbecusBossTV]

yum :0

[tirinaj2]

Do I have to use a Spring form pan I so dont have one and dont want to buy one for one reciepe

[bclion56]

@tirinaj2 No you don't. The spring form is mainly for a viewing pleasure. You can still get the cheesecake out if it's in a normal pan and it won't cook any differently

[TheParisIvy]

@tirinaj2 I woild seriously suggest splurging on that spring form pan. The cheesecake is so, so much easier to get out with the spring form pan. And it doesn't just have to be for cheesecakes, you can bake really anykind of cake in it too, provided you put a tray on the bottom so it doesn't leak.

[norieum]

Very Good Thanks

[arbutusviper1]

"standard cream cheese from the state of Pennsylvania ," nicely done there ; )

[uxm2009]

I tried this recipe and the cheesecake was AWESOME!!!! It was the first time I tried NY Cheesecake and I really liked it!

Thanks Chef John!

[chingCHANGGGx3]

@OurFadedGarden Why don't you look at the description bar? It says all the ingredients on the website.

[OurFadedGarden]

I hate recipes that tell you to add "some" instead of telling you how much.

[sishisonson]

i looked up in the recipi, its written "4 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese". i'm confused. total weight for 4 packages is 8 ounce or each package is 8 ounce. some1 please answer. thanks

[avolight]

@sishisonson Each package is 8 ounces of cream cheese.(:

[sishisonson]

why advertisement always comes first?

[KatieRando]

"excuses are for losers..."

And clearly, Chef John is a winner.

[grimtaco808]

i know what my Girl friend in is going to be eating!!!!!!!!!!!

[4nna5]

I hope it has a buttery biscuit base

[Mustafa99621]

Cool

[iamnotmelis]

so nice but it's so freaking expensive for me to try, Philadelphia cream cheese it's like 5 dollars a package here in Chile, thaty would be 20 dollars just in that ingredient

[sverige971]

how many oz / grams are there in 1 package of cream cheese?

[Angryjanitor3]

Hi Chef John!

[lulusapples]

yummmmmmmmmmmmmmm <3!!!

[Lumbresdeunsegundo]

NO LEAS ESTO\\SI LO AS LEIDO Y PEGA ESTO EN 5 VIDEOS MAS SI NO LO HACES TU MADRE MORIRA EN 3 DIAS POR FAVOR HACEME CASO ES UNA MALDICION

[IreneOrtega24]

[rambomonkey101]

[thisismecindy]

@rambomonkey101 he has them on the website just search cheesecake and it's there

[rambomonkey101]

@thisismecindy found it thank you!!

[5botball]

I'm happy now =)

[annabby12345]

this is y you are my fave chef

[hemyanable]

YUM YUM : ( i'm soo lazy to make that now

[degso0]

3:35 That is not irony. That is coincidence.

[MrC12B1MAN]

I put a pie pan filled with water underneath (on a different rack) the cheesecake while it cooks so the condensation keeps the top of the cake moist so it doesn't crack. By the way, in a really OCD chef would say, is that a cheesecake really isn't a cake. It's a custard. In fact, the first cheesecake was actually cooked just like a custard (you know, filled in a ramekin and put in water). THAT is what I do, it comes out the same as normal, except a little more dense and it NEVER cracks for me.

[AHHbianca]

@MrC12B1MAN Hi! Sounds like you know a little something about baking! I was wondering if you could tell me if it would be a good idea to make an oreo crumb crust instead of graham crackers, and then add some broken oreo pieces into the cheesecake mixture. I really want to make an oreo cheesecake and i just want to know if this would work. Thanks!

[HotSausageStealer]

I did this and didn't call it the Ol' tappa tappa. Now I'm in wheelchair.

[LolTechTutorials]

It's funny because Philadelphia is a city...

[wrestlingfanman22]

Fun fact: Cream cheese in Italian is "Philedelphia"

[misssweeted]

@wrestlingfanman22 fun fact: same in Sweden!

[wrestlingfanman22]

@misssweeted Cool!

[SaccaralReborN]

@misssweeted

Yes, it's called philadelphiaost.

[misssweeted]

@SaccaralReborN ost means cheese ;)

[SaccaralReborN]

@misssweeted

Ja, jag vet jag är svensk. Men det kallas philadelphiaost och inte bara philadelphia ;)

[misssweeted]

@SaccaralReborN tänkte att du var svensk, men för de som inte är svenska så ville jag bara tilllägga det :)

[SaccaralReborN]

@misssweeted

Okej, men min poäng är att det heter Philadelphiaost och inte bara Philadelphia :)

[IceFractal]

@wrestlingfanman22 Cake boss

[wrestlingfanman22]

@IceFractal You know it bro.

[Zephilindrum]

@wrestlingfanman22 Fun fact #2: Even though he states it's from the state of Pennsylvania, Cream Cheese was invented in New York.

[A7laLolitaa]

@wrestlingfanman22 "Philadelphia" its actually a brand of cream cheese which is pretty common in Europe. Cream cheese is not called Philadelphia in Europe, it's just a brand which is used pretty often for cheesecake...funny indeed.

[wrestlingfanman22]

@A7laLolitaa I said Italians call Cream Cheese "Philedelphia". Why are you confusing England with Europe? England is a country, Europe is a continent.

[A7laLolitaa]

@wrestlingfanman22 You don't get it. Even in Italy there is the brand "Philadelphia", of course they call it that. And where have I mentioned that Europe is a country? You're funny really, I said it's common in Europe, thus you can find Philadelphia cream cheese in Italy, Germany, Switzerland...etc.

[wrestlingfanman22]

@A7laLolitaa Apparently you don't get it. So I'll put it caps so you can get it through your thick skull. THE WORDS "CREAM CHEESE" TRANSLATE TO "PHILEDELPHIA" IN ITALIAN.

[l0rdoflol]

@wrestlingfanman22 Watching Cakeboss?

[wrestlingfanman22]

@l0rdoflol Yes, and I've actually been to Italy, last year.

[HardGamingHQ]

Thumbs up if that last part was killing you, I so wanted to eat it!

[NlGGERDICK]

i dont really like cooking. can i just eat the cream cheese with sugar?

[anirudhkrishnamani]

i made this today and it is EPIC!!!!!

[MiCh0RoCkS]

he is only using 8oz of cream cheese?

[bnmjhify]

pretty easy to said enjoy :( you dnt know how we feel :'(

[lianatag]

Where I live, I can't buy graham crackers or graham cracker pre-made crusts at the supermarket. I made the crust with Digestives but it kind of crumbled all over the place.. any other suggestions? Also I replaced one package of cream cheese with some milk to make it a bit lighter. Thanks for the recipe its awesome and a total crowd pleaser! It was the hero of the bake sale even with a crumbly crust :D

[cplmackk1]

@lianatag You can use nilla waffers. I like them even better than graham crackers.

[queenyisbehindyou]

i made one yesterday and the crack on mine was exactly the same as yours ! but instead of the strawverry sauce i made a lemoncurd :)

[solidpink]

would pasturized eggs work as well?? dont want salmonella.

[greedlusthate]

@solidpink It's baked -_-

[xhottestpink]

@solidpink any eggs, regardless of pasteurization or not, would work just fine. eggs in baking are just considered "binders" that bring everything together, especially in batters, thats the reason for them. (:

[solidpink]

@xhottestpink yeah i know that, i was just a fool to ask the question before i saw it was a baked cheesecake. but thx anyway. :)

[OoohMatron1]

Yum! Gonna definitely be making this over Christmas :)

[TheDogScout]

why do everybody watch this at night?

[SvarteNordmann]

@TheDogScout Self-torture.

[TheDogScout]

@SvarteNordmann YAY NORGE!

[Deentan]

@TheDogScout beacuse all aint from america..

[500205]

@TheDogScout cuz i love to dream about eating food i cant afford

[susankohistany]

@TheDogScout because its late at night and we'll get in trouble if we go to the kitchen while everyone's asleep

[Musicposter4you]

@TheDogScout I watch food porn when I can't sleep, or when I'm not watching normal porn.

[thisaveragecow]

@Musicposter4you story of my life

[Duspende]

@TheDogScout Because people get hungry at night, but their parents or spouses are asleep, so they can't cook. So they watch other people make food instead.

[picabo889]

@TheDogScout hahahahaaa!!! it's 1 30 am,,,ridiculous!

[skipper107731]

@TheDogScout ikr for some reason i always watch this at night.

[fshgjguhergbertyuihg]

@TheDogScout I find the commentary rather relaxing in all these videos :P

[crashdevil666]

@TheDogScout Europe

[RasheemH]

@TheDogScout It's 9:25 pm :O!

[Lunarvx22]

@TheDogScout So true, I always go through Chef John's videos before bed just to torture myself.

[norieum]

@TheDogScout Yes Haahaha I Can't Sleep It's make Me happy to Watch some Good Recipes

[shukiii1]

The cracking part was funny xD

[metademetra]

What does citrus zest do? Why is it important?

[samwinchestersgf]

HOLY CRAP THAT IS THE BEST LOOKING CHEESECAKE JEEZUS

[toughsuga2]

Your witty humor is entertaining

[claudiggah]

you are hilarious I like it

[EyeLikeElectro]

SOUR CREAM?...

[6900smiley]

cheese cake gives me heart burn but its soooo good i still eat it

[victorm118]

Really nice video!

One good tip to avoid the cake to break in the oven, is to put a glass with water inside with it. The water will evaporate and will prevent the cake to break. Also it will be more creamy.

[applecid1]

This looks easy enough to make. I think the lemon and orange zest combination is going to give it a nice kick. Can’t wait to try it!

[teragigajyeah]

Watched it, but didn't even do it...

[LINDSAYLIKEOMG]

i want it so baaaaaaaad! i need to buy one of those special pans that opens up so i can make it :)

[MEMEMEMEMEMEME06]

grrr, seems wonderful but you dont measure it and i dont wanna overdue things, start measuring

[N2MyIs]

Okay. so this looks absolutely delicious!! However, in my attempt to make it the top started burning after 40 mins into cooking. The same thing happen when I tried to make the chicken parmesan casserole. I followed the directions specifically and no where does it state that I must cover it or anything. So is there any way to get an explanation or solution. Please and thank you. I would love to make this for Thanksgiving. :DDD

[Karaisoke]

@N2MyIs Sounds like your oven needs to have it's temperature calibrated. This becomes a common problem with ovens.

[ScifiSaints]

This is such an easy, but delicious recipe. People flip for my cheesecake now. The big thing is the lemon zest. ;)

[iceehot404]

I want some mmmmmmmmmmmmm!

[Tariena1001]

Lol he's funny!

[Antiks72]

@BelugasandBHawks No, you can leave the zest out.

[vivi028]

greaaaat voice

[anailelianacarbajal]

Followed the exact recipe except I used more lemon and orange zest. My crust was the same texture after baked. It was crumbly and very thin and not very crusty. I thought that it was raw because it never turned golden on top but after 3 hours, it set in the oven. My dad couldn't resist waiting a full night to try it and sliced it while still hot. I wasn't surprised when he spit it out and said,"Eww it feels like flan, is this raw"?!!? That is why you're at least supposed to let the cake chill a

[acs117<]

i love foodwishes.... mwah!
