Cheesecake is a winner. The combination of a buttery graham cracker crust and the luscious texture and tangy-sweet flavor of the filling is nothing short of spectacular. A classic cheesecake recipe is made with cream cheese, sour cream, egg yolks, sugar, and a touch of lemon juice. It bakes low and slow for at least two hours, then chills to set up.
But why stop there? We have all kinds of delicious variations of the classic cheesecake recipe. Even our no-bake versions are not to be missed. They're crowd-pleasing desserts you can make any time of the year, and you can serve it sliced as is, or top it with a handful of fresh berries for a pop of color and contrasting flavor.

A recipe from Martha's mom, this Polish-style cheesecake is an Easter tradition in the Kostyra family.
