So there is something you should probably know about me. Something that only a select group of friends know about me. It’s this, people. I love cheesecake more than any other dessert goodie ever. Not just any cheesecake, though. It’s gotta be plain! I love classic cheesecake with absolutely nothing on it. Nothing is needed! That sweet and creamy filling is perfect all on its own.
This particular classic cheesecake recipe has a shortbread crust and a thin layer of sour cream topping. The cheesecake you know of with the graham cracker crust is known as a New York Cheesecake. I love that one too!! The creamy texture in this cheesecake is darn near perfect.
Fun fact: When I got married, I joked that I wanted my wedding cake to be ALL CHEESECAKE. Pressure for a traditional type gave way to spice cake instead, but I always wished I had just done it!
