Does anyone have a good cheesecake recipe. My brother wants me to prepare a cheesecake for an upcoming "dinner and a movie" event. He wants it to be "cakey" not too creamy. Is that New York Style?

PREHEAT oven to 350°F if using a silver 8- or 9-inch springform pan (or to 325°F if using a dark nonstick 8- or 9-inch springform pan). Mix crumbs, butter and 1/4 cup of the sugar. Press firmly onto bottom and 2-1/2 inches up side of pan; set aside.
BEAT cream cheese, remaining 1 cup sugar and vanilla with electric mixer on high speed until well blended. Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition just until blended. Blend in sour cream. Pour into crust.

Great Substitute
Prepare as directed, using PHILADELPHIA Neufchatel Cheese, 1/3 Less Fat than Cream Cheese.

How To Easily Cut Creamy Desserts
When cutting creamy-textured desserts, such as cheesecake, carefully wipe off the knife blade between cuts with a clean, damp towel. This prevents the creamy filling from building up on the blade, ensuring nice clean cuts that leave the filling intact.

I use either the Philly box one or the one that jello has out.. they are both very good !!!! But not sure what you would consider cakey ?? the Philly one mite be more cakey like than the jell-o one ..

All I know is that there is never any left over .. lololol
