NY cheesecake should be creamy, not dry, rich but not overly dense and heavy, and have a buttery, crumbly crust; it should not be too sweet, or be drowned by a topping or sauce on top. I have never seen one baked at 400 F for 45 minutes, they are usually baked at around 300 F or on a similar low temperature for about 45 minutes. Cheesecake making is a delicate process, but if the instructions are followed exactly it is actually a bit easy.
