Pagliacci's New York Cheesecake image

This recipe was given to Bon Appetit magazine by the renowned Victoria, B.C. restaurant, Pagliacci's. It's been an institution in that beautiful city for decades and this cheesecake is just one of the menu items people can't get enough of. It's a deceptively simple and decadent treat. Easily adapts to low carbing by substituting Splenda (or Davinci's Syrup) for the sugar, a nut crust for the crumb one and omitting the flour. My second favourite cheesecake of all time.

Time 1h50m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/4 cups graham wafer crumbs (I prefer vanilla wafer crumbs)
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter, melted
40 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 3/4 cups sugar
3 tablespoons flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
5 eggs
2 egg yolks
1/4 cup whipping cream

Steps:

  • Mix crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar and butter and press into a 10" spring form pan. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Preheat oven to 500º.
  • Beat cream cheese with electric mixer in large bowl until very smooth. Blend in lemon juice and vanilla. Sift sugar, flour and salt together and gradually beat into cheese. Beat until creamy, smooth and light, about 5 minutes. Beat in eggs and yolks one at a time. Blend in cream. Pour into crust.
  • Bake 12 minutes.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 200º. Continue baking until tester inserted in centre comes out clean. The original recipe said for 45 minutes but I find (having made this at least 30 times in two different ovens) that it takes about 90 minutes.
  • Run a sharp knife around the edge of the pan. Cool cake completely and refrigerate at least 24 hours before serving.

This cheesecake was delicious! The crust was perfectly graham crackery and the filling was smooth and creamy. I loved the hint of lemon in the filling. I will definitely be making this again.

This cheesecake was easy to make and turned out great! I used a pre-made graham cracker crust to save time, and the filling was super simple to mix together. I baked it for 55 minutes and it came out perfectly set. The cheesecake was rich and creamy,

This cheesecake was a bit of a disappointment. The crust was too crumbly and the filling was too dense. I also found the cheesecake to be too sweet. I won't be making this recipe again.

I'm not a huge cheesecake fan, but this one was really good. The crust was the perfect thickness and the filling was creamy and not too sweet. I especially liked the sour cream topping, it added a nice tang. I would definitely recommend this recipe.

This cheesecake was a hit at my party! The crust was perfectly graham crackery and the filling was smooth and creamy. I loved the hint of lemon in the filling, it really brightened up the flavor. I will definitely be making this again.
