What Is Different About French Style Cheesecake?
French-style cheesecake, also known as Neufchâtel cheesecake, differs from traditional American-style cheesecake in several ways. It is lighter and creamier due to the use of a higher proportion of cream cheese to eggs and sugar. It also does not have a graham cracker crust; instead, it is often served with a shortbread or cookie crust. Additionally, French-style cheesecake is typically baked in a water bath to ensure even cooking and prevent cracking. Finally, it is often flavored with lemon or other citrus fruits to give it a fresh, tart taste.
