A moment to yourself.

We all have a favorite cheesecake that we look out for when we order dessert online. But there are only a few people who can keep their hands-off of cheesecakes. In an episode of F.R.I.E.N.D.S, Rachel and Chandler were so smitten by cheesecake, that they readily ate the cheesecake that had fallen down. But what makes this dessert the downfall of every diet-conscious person and the favorite of every sweet lover? The subtle differences in the way they are so deliciously cooked can make all the difference in the world.

1. New York

The New York-style cheesecake gets its texture and consistency from heavy cream, sour cream, and eggs. Sometimes lemon is added to the cake, to add a tinge of sourness and flavor to this dish. The cake gets its firm, smooth, and creamy texture because it is baked at higher temperatures. The buttery base made with biscuit crumbs balances out the sweetness of the upper layer. To make it more exciting and appealing, you can drizzle it with strawberry or blueberry sauce.

2. Chicago

Quite opposite to the New York-style cheesecake, the Chicago cheesecake has a firm exterior but is fluffy and creamy from the inside. The lighter texture makes it more enjoyable as compared to the heavy New York styled cheesecake that satiates your hunger after 4–5 bites. The shortbread crust adds to the taste and charm of this cheesecake.

3. Sweden cheesecake

A very unique twist to the traditional ways of preparing cheesecakes, the Swedish cheesecake contains is made with cottage cheese. This is a diet-friendly cake as it is mostly made gluten-free and with less sugar or natural sweeteners. This cheesecake is served warm with a slight drizzle of fruit jams like strawberry, passion fruit, or black current.

4. India

Right from paan flavored chocolates and ice-creams, to gulab jamun flavored cheesecakes, fusion desserts are in trend. The gulab jamun cheesecake is a beautiful blend of Indian and western flavors. As bizarre as this combination sounds, this cheesecake has been a huge hit in India. It was first made by the famous chef Sanjeev Kapoor by using paneer, condensed milk, yogurt, and gulab jamun.
