Juniors cheesecake

Junior's cheesecake is a New York City staple. It's ultra-rich and creamy, and a lot easier to make than you might think!

Junior’s Cheesecake has been voted the “best in New York” time and time again, and it’s for good reason. The restaurant and bakery was founded by Harry Rosen back in 1950, and that original location on Flatbush and DeKalb Avenues in Brooklyn is still thriving today (though it know has five additional locations). Harry always […]

But rarely do I make cheesecake.The thing with cheesecake is that even the easiest recipes require a fair amount of work (and a significant amount of time), so I find myself not wanting to commit unless I know the recipe’s a winner. The best way to find that winner? Bake a lot of cheesecakes and see which one stands out.

This tastes just like the Junior's cheesecake I ordered off of QVC. I made it again last night for a co-workers birthday and brought it in...everyone was swooning and begging for the recipe! Next time I make this I will make the sponge…

NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- Tuesday is National Cheesecake Day, so there's no better way to celebrate than by sharing the recipe for Junior's Restaurants' Original New York Cheesecake -- aka "The World's Most Fabulous Cheesecake."

Cream cheese happen to be one of those items so I ended up with 10 - 8 ounce packages of cream cheese. Fast forward to January and there sat all this cream cheese. Staring at me...Taunting me... It was like a nightmare scene from Charlie and the Chocolate factory. Little Oompa Lumpas dancing in my…

But Alan Rosen really has been hanging around eateries since the day he was born (and before, if you count being in the womb). The […]
