New York Cheesecake
The Lower East Side classic. Three blocks of full-fat cream cheese, sour cream, eggs, a touch of vanilla, a heavy hand of lemon zest. Baked in a low oven over a water bath until the centre still wobbles, then left overnight to set into the most stoic dessert in the canon.

:NOTE
The single biggest failure mode is the top cracking. Three causes, in order: too high an oven, no water bath, opening the door during the bake. The fix is the same for all three: 150°C, two centimetres of hot water in a tray on the rack below, and not touching the oven for two hours.
