I used to work bakery and am quite fond of making cheesecakes. If you want one specially made for you, let me know. I can do a nice vanilla vodka berry compote to go with it, or whatever.

maybe try the zic zac bar-restaurant in old town.

You can find Real New York Cheesecake at Peace Foods in Baar or online at www.peace-foods.ch. The authentic NY cheesecake is made with real philadelphia cream cheese and baked and topped with sour cream. All others are just cheesecakes and those not baked are set with gelatin, derived from the bones of dead animals.
The Cheesecake at Starbucks is from the USA, made by a company called Sweetstreet and is not a authentic NY Cheesecake.

Good website, I think I'll order something. I think the "derived from the bones of dead animals" is laying it on a bit thick though, we all know what gelatin is, and in any case, in any production cheesecake it'll always be vegetarian gelatin (not that it matters to me).

The cheesecake from Peace Foods is fantastic, the best I've ever had. I always get a good fix at the Expat-Expos.

which one do you recommend? I was going to order a plain one but there are lots of fancy ones. Cheers

TBH, I'm not sure which ones I've had. I do like plain baked ones but the fruit one I've had have also been excellent. I'll try them all next time and report back.

haha very good! I'm not so much into fruit on cheesecakes so for me it's going to be original, pumpkin, chocolate or that crazy brownie one. I think I'm going to get the original and the pumpkin and freeze one.

trying to get my work done but a thread about cheesecake puts the world on hold. i love cheesecake (being from ny it is in my blood) and i make it often.
it's really easy to make here, you can find most of the ingredients easily and there are plenty of ways to play with it if you can't find all. near me coop and migro both have philly's cream cheese- make sure it's the full on fatty stuff nothing else will do. I made a new one the other day with some jelly my son made and it came out good.

1 1/2 cups ground gingersnap cookies
1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted

Filling
4 8-ounce packages cream cheese, room temperature
1 2/3 cups sugar
9 tablespoons whipping cream
4 large eggs
3 tablespoons of berry confiture (i like raspberry or strawberr, try what you like)
vanilla extract (as you like, i like about 2 tblspns)




preheat oven to 350 (C equivalent)
crush cookies and mix well with crust ingredients- line the bottom of the pan and about 2 inches up the sides with the crust.

beat together cream cheese and sugar ( you can put aside about 1.5 cup in the refridgerator for topping if you'd like, i do)- add cream, vanilla, confiture beating as you add. add eggs one at a time, beating the heck out of em until they're really well mixed in. add mixture to the pan. cook for about 1 hour (until tops turns golden brown and the center moves just a bit.
put on a rack and cool. put in fridge until your ready to serve.

just before you serve, take the sugar/cream cheese mixture and smooth over the cake, using the tip of the knife you can mix some of the berry confiture into the topping to create a swirl effect that is pretty.

it's a yummy thing, it may take a few gos to get it right but once you do you can experiment with different kinds and have cheesecake when ever you please!

I have had the cheesecake at Peace Foods as well, and it is excellent.

I had the chocolate cheesecake.

Where can you get this?

JUST KIDDING!!!!
