Philadelphia New York Cheesecake

 

(Click here to open a Printer Friendly version of this recipe)

This gutsy recipe does not use the spring form pan, but rather a regular baking pan. To lift the cheesecake from the pan easily, line the pan with foil, with the ends extending over the sides to create the handles. Once cooled, lift the dessert from the pan using the foil handles.
