Family favourite : NY Style Cheesecake
On the occasion of my birthday... we are baking one of our favourite cake, a New York style Cheesecake. The smooth and creamy filing, crispy biscuit crust makes it a fantastic recipe, a must try if you are looking for a traditional New York City staple. I tasted some amazing cheesecakes while living in NY, this one is just about as good... And definitely brings back good memories of those years in America.

Cream cheese, sour cream and eggs close to room temperature.
Beat cream cheese, 3/4 of sugar , egg yolks and cornflour with an electric mixer until smooth
