Cheesecake Recipes in 2025:

Cheesecake recipes in 2025 continue to feature classic ingredients, with some variations to suit different tastes. Here’s a standard list of ingredients for a traditional New York-style cheesecake:

Crust:

• 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Filling:

• 4 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
• 1¼ cups granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 4 large eggs
• 2/3 cup sour cream
• 2/3 cup heavy cream

These ingredients yield a rich, creamy cheesecake with a smooth texture and a slightly tangy flavor.

In 2025, bakers are also experimenting with innovative flavors and styles, such as:

• Basque Burnt Cheesecake: Known for its caramelized top and creamy center, this crustless cheesecake includes cream cheese, sugar, eggs, heavy cream, and a small amount of flour.
• Ube Cheesecake: A Filipino-inspired dessert combining cream cheese with ube halaya (purple yam jam), resulting in a vibrant purple hue and unique flavor.

These variations showcase the versatility of cheesecake, allowing for creative twists while maintaining the beloved creamy texture.
