What are the three types of cheesecake?
The three types of cheesecake are a regular cheesecake, New York Style cheesecake, and a no bake cheesecake. These are the most popular types of cheesecake.

What cheese is best for cheesecake?
Cream cheese is the usual cheese in a cheesecake recipe. However, sometimes you may see ricotta, or mascarpone.
I always recommend using a full fat, brick style cream cheese which will give you the best texture. Whipped cream cheese will have air added to it and change the texture.
