Sometimes the simplest cakes are the best cakes. New York-style cheesecake is one of those simple, tangy, creamy cakes with a distinct texture and crust. I grew up in New York City and I've had many slices of New York Cheesecake. I never tire of it. It's a classic.
It's my birthday today. I used to be kind of shy about it, but no more. To celebrate, I'm sharing my New York-Style raw Cheesecake recipe.
Fora dairy version of this type of cheesecake using yogurt, my cheesecake using yogurt and crème fraîche comes very close to a New York-style cheesecake, and is probiotic style as well!
If you're a fan of raw cheesecakes, here are some more to try:
- Pumpkin Cheesecake
- Pumpkin Cheesecake {dairy-free}
- Raw Berry Cheesecake {dairy-free}
- Chocolate Cheesecake {dairy-free}
- Blueberry Cheesecake Bars {dairy-free}

Hello Erica
I love your recipe..I would like to ask you if you have any suggestion for pie crust, i want to use a peanut butter and banana as my base because I'm trying to avoid nut flour and grounded nuts. Do you have a recipe in mind? I want to make another cheesecake. Thank you.
Erica says
You can try peanut flour or a cookie dough recipe that you use normally. The base is very similar to some of my cookie dough recipes. Hope that helps!

Happy birthday Erica! This looks yummy like your berry cheesecake that I make all the time. For my husband’s birthday I used your Yellow Cake recipe (no egg beating version) I put 1 Tbsp of fresh lemon juice in addition to lemon zest and reduced the vanilla to 1tps. Thank you for all your yummy recipes. Happy happy birthday.
