Whether baked or no-bake cheesecake is better depends on personal preference – kind of like whether you prefer Ant or Dec. Baked cheesecakes are dense, rich, and creamy with a slightly tangy flavour from ingredients like cream cheese and eggs, offering a smooth, custard-like consistency. No-bake cheesecakes are lighter with a mousse-like texture, made without eggs and set with gelatine or whipped cream, making them quicker and easier to prepare without needing an oven. The choice ultimately hinges on whether you prefer a denser, richer cake (baked) or a lighter, creamier dessert (no-bake).

There are several different types of cheesecake, each with unique characteristics and flavours. New York cheesecake is dense and rich, often made with cream cheese and sour cream, offering a smooth texture and a slightly tangy taste. Basque cheesecake, originating from Spain's Basque region, is characterised by its burnt top and creamy interior, with a caramelised flavour from the high baking temperature. Japanese cheesecake, also known as cotton cheesecake, is light and fluffy, incorporating whipped egg whites for a soufflé-like texture and a delicate, airy consistency.

There are several types of crusts you can use for cheesecake recipes to add texture and flavour variety. A classic graham cracker crust, made by combining graham cracker crumbs with melted butter and sugar, offers a sweet and crunchy base that complements the creamy cheesecake filling. For a richer option, you can use a chocolate cookie crust made with crushed chocolate cookies and melted butter. Shortbread crusts, made from ground shortbread cookies mixed with butter, provide a buttery and tender base. Alternatively, nut crusts made with ground almonds, pecans, or walnuts mixed with a bit of sugar and butter offer a nutty flavour and crunchy texture. These crust options can be baked briefly before adding the cheesecake filling to ensure they hold together well during slicing and serving.

It's recommended to chill your cheesecake for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, before serving. This chilling time allows the cheesecake to set properly and develop its flavours. During this time, the texture firms up and becomes sliceable, ensuring that each slice holds its shape when served. Additionally, chilling the cheesecake enhances its creamy consistency and allows the flavours to meld together for a more delicious dessert experience. If you're in a rush, you can chill it for a minimum of 4 hours, but overnight chilling generally yields the best results.

There are several delightful ways to garnish and serve cheesecakes to enhance their presentation and flavour. Fresh fruit such as strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries add a burst of colour and a refreshing contrast to the creamy cheesecake. A drizzle of fruit coulis or chocolate sauce not only adds visual appeal but also introduces complementary flavours. Whipped cream or a dollop of flavoured whipped cream, such as vanilla or chocolate, provides a light and airy topping. For texture, consider sprinkling chopped nuts like almonds or pecans on top, or adding a sprinkle of chocolate shavings. Mint leaves or edible flowers can be used for a decorative touch.

To prevent your cheesecake from sticking to the pan, especially when using a springform pan, follow these steps. First, before adding the crust and filling, line the bottom of the springform pan with parchment paper. Ensure the parchment paper extends slightly beyond the edges of the pan to facilitate easy removal later. Additionally, lightly grease the sides of the pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray to create a barrier between the cheesecake and the pan. After baking and cooling the cheesecake, run a thin knife around the edge of the pan to loosen any stuck edges before releasing the springform sides. This method helps ensure that your cheesecake comes out cleanly and beautifully intact, ready to be garnished and served.

Cheesecake offers a variety of delicious flavour variations to suit different tastes. Classic options include New York-style, known for its rich density and tangy flavour often enhanced with fruit compote or sour cream topping, and chocolate, featuring melted chocolate or cocoa for a decadent twist. Fruit flavours like strawberry, raspberry, or lemon zest provide refreshing options either folded into the batter or as toppings. Other popular choices include Oreo or cookie dough with crushed cookies for texture, pumpkin spice with warm spices, salted caramel with caramel layers and sea salt, matcha or green tea for a unique twist, and tiramisu inspired by the Italian dessert with coffee-soaked ladyfingers and mascarpone. These variations highlight cheesecake's versatility, offering a treat for every palate and occasion.
