I mean, … I Need-A-Cheese Cake!!!
From the very first, cheesecake was my favorite of all cakes. My mother “Anita” shared with me her love of cream cheese. We found many wonderful ways to enjoy cream cheese, but my one great love was her big beautiful CHEESECAKE.
On rare occasions she would make her giant Cheesecake, thank goodness the big cake was large enough to enjoy for the whole week. The test I use for how good the Cheesecake turned out is … if I am thinking about another piece of the Big Cheesecake the next day and the day after that, than the said Cheesecake hit the mark.
Everybody has a Cheesecake…go into any restaurant, every restaurant has it’s own Cheesecake. Restaurants offer Cheesecake with chocolate, Cheesecake with candy bars, Cheesecake with cherries. Frankly the most memorable slice I had was at an outdoor café at the Rockefeller Center in New York City. The price of that slice of Cheesecake was huge…so I skipped lunch and went straight for the CHEESECAKE. It was truly New York Cheesecake. The cost in 1972 was something like Nine Dollars for one slice…but hay that is New York!
I have a theory about Cheesecake. Let the Cheesecake be Cheesecake. The rest of the world can try to persuade the Non-Cheesecake lovers to eat Cheesecake by putting everything from almonds to berries to coconuts to cherries into the cream cheese.
I, on the other hand love to make, and love to eat “A nita’s Cheesecake”, New York style.
Oh you can decorate the top, but keep the candy out of the cream cheese please!
Enjoy, Oh...the recipe, I will get to that...
