This is a childhood memory of a famous cheesecake in Utica, New York.
Scrolling through so many cheesecake recipes, I have, I found this one again that was from my hometown.
Someone gave it to me years and years ago. I loved Manny's cheesecake.
When I was given this copycat version I put it in my recipe box and forgot about it.
I was lucky enough to buy one often when I lived up there so I didn't need to make it.
Then I moved to Florida and started making my own to get my fix on that delicious flavor.
Then a few years ago, this childhood bakery tragically burned down.
It was really a legendary establishment from my home town in Utica, New York and closed but still sells from their home.
This is a step by step easy recipe, as close as could be except for a few preferences of flavor.
My hometown is famous for many different recipes, like this one and below are a few more links to try.
