Desserts Cakes Cheesecake Recipes New York Cheesecake Recipes New York Italian Style Cheesecake 4.6 (83) 74 Reviews 27 Photos This recipe was given to me by my Italian mother-in-law. It is the type of crustless cheesecake that is sold in Italian bakeries in New York. I usually make it with whole-milk ricotta which is creamier than low-fat. This is not a diet item! You can add fresh fruit topping if you desire.
