Baked Cheesecake Recipe

A List Of Italian Cakes - Cheesecakes





This baked cheesecake recipe list is a subset of my Italian cakes collection. "Baked" and "no-bake" are two entirely different desserts.

recipe for pumpkin cheesecake A baked cheesecake recipe is the more traditional cheesecake. It's denser. And far more rich than the "non" baked. Since I tend to focus first on the more traditional Italian dessert recipes - I bake those first. Then, when I get a nice set of the "classic" desserts - I may move to more experimenting or playing. Which in this case would be the no bake cheesecake. (And I do have one of those on my site - the Amaretto Mouse Cheesecake.)

As a kid I don't remember ever getting enough cheesecake. If I was lucky I had it once every year to two years. Our family didn't bake it near as much as I wanted. Now that I'm a "big kid" and can bake one any time I want - I can't devour them like I used to when I was in my early twenties.

This recipe list - is a list of cheesecakes I have baked myself. Some have been in my family for years. And others, I decided to give a try when I was having company over or my kids requested it for their birthday.

So what's the difference between a baked cheesecake and a non-baked cheesecake?

  • First and foremost - THE FLAVOR
  • Second - The texture (baked is denser)
  • Third - Baked has eggs - no-baked doesn't
  • Fourth - Effort (A baked cheesecake will take at least an hour - usually more)


    • I'm not about making more work. But in order for some things to stay classic - that's why they stay "classic" because Wal Mart or Target can't replicate them in a hurry. Not saying they don't make a poor rendition of a cheesecake and then freeze it - because they do. But I am saying a baked cheesecake is traditional. It's authentic.

    That's not to say my amaretto mouse cheesecake is horrid - because it's a no-bake. Because it's not. It has a great texture and flavor - but it's not the "traditional" thing.

    Enjoy baking. And check out my homepage of Italian Dessert Recipes while you are here.

    Lisa Gianotti Fathers Day I can already tell you the main recipes that are viewed on Italian Dessert Recipes during the last few weeks before Fathers Day - CHOCOLATE desserts, CHOCOLATE CAKES, CHOCOLATE cheesecake - basically anything chocolate.

    Not sure why we think men need chocolate. But, it's a cyclical. I see it every year - all my chocolate dessert recipes get the highest viewings.

    So, to give you some ideas - here's what most of us cook for our men on Fathers Day:

    Recipe for Chocolate Cheesecake (I love this because it uses sour cream, and makes the chocolate have the bittersweet deep end flavor

    Chocolate Walnut Cake

    Chocolate Buttermilk Cake (Uses 3 sticks of butter - I make this about 4 times a year!)

    And if you don't want chocolate? Another great holiday cake, that I make for celebrations:

    Italian Rum Cake (Give yourself a day ahead of time to make this. It needs to soak about 24 hours to flavor.)
