"Who doesn’t love a creamy New York-Style Cheesecake? The texture of this sour cream cheesecake is like velvet on the tongue. Tip: When blending cheesecake ingredients, make sure not to overdo it. Beating air into a cheesecake only increases the possibility that it will rise more than it should and then crack as it settles. See more Thanksgiving Day desserts or Christmas Day desserts!..."
