Simple, light and very healthy! This soup has a very rich creamy taste, yet it is made without any cream or shortening!

New York Cheesecake

I tried many different kinds of cheesecakes, but I’ve been making this one for quite some time, and it’s my absolute favorite.
When I came back from the US, about two years ago, my sister asked me to make typical American cheesecake which she ate there and can’t find any similar variant here. Considering that American cheesecakes are typically made with Philadelphia cream cheese, finding its substitute here was the first step to make. I went to different supermarkets, and literally bought all different kinds of cream cheeses they had, in order to find the closest substitute!
This cheesecake is so good, that I made two in two days. On Saturday I had some guests, and there wasn’t even a crumble leftover, so I made it again on Sunday :)
