Čím je pro Italy Tiramisu, tím je pro Američany Cheesecake. Ačkoliv Američané se po tomto dezertu kolikrát mohou utouct, pro nás sýrový koláč (sladký sýr?!) nevypadá na nic lákavého. Ovšem jen do chvíle, než zjistíme, že jistým druhem sýra je vlastně i tvaroh a tvarohový koláč je něco, po čem se může kolikrát utlouct i našinec.
Hlavní surovinou je cream cheese, pro nás smetanový sýr (ne tavený), tvaroh ve staniolu (ne ve vaničce), Lučina či neochucené pomazánkové máslo.
The United States has several different recipes for cheesecake and this usually depends on the region the cake was baked in as well as the cultural background of the person baking it. These cheesecakes are typically baked before serving.
- New York-style cheesecake relies upon heavy cream. Usually, cheesecake is made from cream cheese, eggs and egg yolks to add a richness and a smooth consistency. It is baked in a special 13–15 cm (5–6 inches) tall springform pan in many restaurants. Some recipes use cottage cheese and lemon for distinct texture and flavor or add a drizzle of chocolate or strawberry sauce to the basic recipe.
- Sour cream-style uses sour cream instead of heavy cream. This makes the cheesecake more resilient to freezing and is the method by which most frozen cheesecakes are made.
- Pennsylvania Dutch-style cheesecake uses a slightly tangy type of cheese with larger curds and less water content, called pot or farmer's cheese.
- Philadelphia-style cheesecake is lighter in texture, yet richer in flavor than New York-style cheesecake.
- Farmer's cheese cheesecake is the contemporary implementation for the traditional use of baking to preserve fresh cheese and is often baked in a cake form along with fresh fruit like a tart.
- Country-style cheesecake uses buttermilk to produce a firm texture while decreasing the pH (increasing acidity) to extend shelf life.
- Lactose-free cheesecake may be made either with lactose-free cream cheese or as an imitation using vegan recipes combining non-dairy cream cheese alternatives with other lactose-free ingredients.
- Gooey butter cake is a St. Louis variant that has a layer of regular cake with a cheesecake top.
