Different Styles Of Cheesecake

We know that cheesecakes come with either a biscuit base or a dense, more cake-like consistency. A number of bakeries in London’s East End, including Rinkoff’s, produce baked versions. This was the most useful definition we could find to describe the New York / Amercian-style:

New York-style cheesecake, made famous by Lindy’s and Junior’s Deli, relies upon heavy cream, cream cheese, eggs and egg yolks to add a richness and a smooth consistency. Also called Jewish-style, it is baked in a special 5- to 6-inch tall springform pan in many restaurants. Some recipes use cottage cheese and lemon for distinct texture and flavor or add chocolate or strawberry to the basic recipe. A NY cheesecake is high, dense, and firm.
