In How to Be a Domestic Goddess, Nigella Lawson shares a recipe for what she calls London Cheesecake, her take on New York Style Cheesecake. It's very good! I use to make it fairly often because I like the density and color from the extra egg yolks.
It's also hard to screw up. Just make sure you don't overbeat the eggs (I stir mine in with a spoon) and use the water bath. I made my own crust using leftover sugar cookies, but a graham cracker crust would have been better.
Here's the Recipe

I made this twice and it is excellent. This is now my go to cheesecake recipe. I even tried to lighten it... 4 Tbs butter, light cream cheese and sour cream and it turned out great! Love it with fresh strawberries and bluesberries.
Katie says
Are you aware of Joanne Fluke's Cheesecake recipe? It's from her novel Cherry Cheescake murder. i am curious about it because it calls for mayonaise.
Anna says
Mona, the sugar cookies worked, but you might want to add nuts or something the crust. The cookies and butter alone were a little on the soggy side. No one complained, though!
Mona says
sugar cookies into cheesecake!? that's awesome! what a brilliant idea. can't wait to try that after the sugarcookie baking marathon before christmas. i know we'll never make it through all the ones mom will make.
Jen says
Hmmm, I have this book - I'll have to try this recipe next time a cheesecake is in order - one day I'll make one that doesn't crack.
