The one you make yourself. Lemon zest + juice in the filling and a little cinnamon in the crust and that's the best goddamn cheesecake in Boston right there.

NYT has a great cheesecake recipe. Add 1 tsp cinnamon to the crust and 2 tsp lemon juice + 2 tsp lemon zest to the filling. Bake it at the temp they say but don't take it out until the crust starts to brown, their recommended time is not enough. Best goddamn cheesecake I ever did have

Cheesecakes require a boiler in the oven too to keep the cake moist and not dry. Nobody makes their own cheesecake that I know

You can also bake it low and slow. I fucking hate water baths. A 6-7 hour bake of a cheesecake at 200°F and an overnight chill in the fridge yielded the best cheesecake I have ever eaten.

Also, I believe r/baking would disagree with no one making their own cheesecake. People take on all sorts of absurdly fiddly bakes there.

theres also basque cheesecake, the objectively correct cheesecake, which just cooks in the oven at highish temp
