The peculiarity of making New York cheesecake is its long infusion. It takes more than 6-8 hours for the filling to set.

Inexpensive crackers, shortbread or butter biscuits are generally preferred. You can also use waffle crumbs or make your own dough. In the latter case, this is not only labor-intensive, but also not at all necessary, given the low cost of the store baking.
As mentioned earlier, the classic New York cheesecake filling uses Philadelphia cream. But here, too, you can experiment by pouring whipped Mascarpone, curd mousse and even whipped cream over the cake.
