The original New York Cheesecake Recipe is generally credited to Arnold Reuben, owner of the legendary Turf Restaurant at 49th and Broadway in New York City.

Reuben claimed that his family developed the first cream cheese cheesecake recipe in 1929. Other bakeries used cottage cheese.

According to urban legend, he was served a cheese pie in a private home, and he fell in love with the dessert. Using his hostess’ recipe, he then began to develop his own recipe for the best New York cheesecake. Reuben soon began to serve his original New York cheesecake recipe in his restaurant. The cheesecake quickly became very popular.

The qualities that make Reuben's recipe for cheesecake so delicious are a graham cracker crust, a creamy texture, and a distinct lemon flavor.

Now you can make this easy cheesecake at home any time you want a taste of the Big Apple.
