Food Porn: Carnegie Deli's Cheesecake

Cheesecake

The cheesecake at Carnegie Deli is truly New York style. I remember sitting at the restaurant finishing my gigantic corned beef sandwich when, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a huge cheesecake. It looked as big as my head, and was a sight to remember. We just had to order one and share it.

The texture of the cheesecake was superb: velvety and rich, topped with real strawberries. The crust is made in a cookie dough style, and is sinfully good. According to their website, the cheesecake is baked three times: first at 375 to bake the cookie dough, then at 500 to bake the sides and darken the top, then at 350 to set the cake. They insist that this is the Old World way of making cheesecakes. Whatever their secret is, I'd sit down to one of these babies anytime. You can also order a cake from their website.
