National Cheesecake Day on July 30th offers a slice of one of America’s favorite desserts. This smooth dessert hits the spot when the end of the meal rolls around.
While most cakes have a crumb, cheesecake’s texture is nothing like cake. Indeed, its creamy, thick pudding-like character comes from the soft cheese used as the main ingredient. Depending on the recipe, either cream cheese or cottage cheese is used. When the cheese is mixed with sugar, eggs, and other ingredients, the batter is added to a crust.
Graham cracker crust is one of the most common crusts used Cheesecake. Other options include a cookie crust, pastry or sponge cake. Some cheesecakes are crustless, which is also known as Basque cheesecake. Recipes vary and cheesecakes may be prepared baked or unbaked.
When faced with choosing a cheesecake flavor, don’t panic. While the options may seem overwhelming, bakers solved this problem. They offer a variety of flavors in one cake. So, take one home and try each one. Since cheesecakes do come in a wide variety, consider your tastes. If you prefer summer fruits and berries, cheesecakes have you covered. Tropical options hit the spot, too. For coffee lovers, bakers provide a rich selection. And don’t forget delicious chocolate and nutty flavors. Each cheesecake may be served with fresh fruit, a sauce, whipped cream or plain.
Although early forms of cheesecake date back to ancient Greece, cream cheese didn't enter American dessert recipes until around the 1820s. Following the advent of pasteurization, William A. Lawrence, a dairy farmer from Chester, New York, purchased a Neufchâtel factory and introduced the first mass-produced cream cheese in 1873.
