A rich, velvety New York–style cheesecake baked low and slow for a perfectly smooth, creamy finish. This deep-dish 9” classic sits on a buttery graham crust and chills overnight to develop that unmistakable bakery-grade texture. No shortcuts, no fillers — just premium ingredients and a whole lot of patience.
Serves 10–12 generously. Perfect for holiday tables, dinner parties, or anyone who knows the value of a real cheesecake.
✨ Add-On Toppings
Salted Caramel Drizzle — +$8 Slow-cooked caramel finished with flaky sea salt. Adds a glossy, buttery finish that pairs perfectly with the rich New York filling.
Chocolate Ganache — +$8 A velvety dark chocolate ganache poured over the top for a sleek, elegant finish. Made with premium Callebaut chocolate for a deep, smooth flavor.
Cranberry–Orange Compote — +$8 Bright, festive, and beautifully tart. Fresh cranberries simmered with orange zest and a touch of sugar for a jewel-toned topping that tastes like Christmas.
