THE CHEESECAKE MEDLEY


While the concept of cheesecake goes a long back in time and history when it is said that the Romans spread the tradition of making cheesecake from Greece to all across Europe and ever since New York created some of the world’s best variety recipes in cheesecakes it has gained popularity all across the globe being a favourite pick – n – choice for food lovers and connoisseurs.

The traditional Greek cheesecake used ricotta cheese and these cheesecakes were sweetened with honey while some used flour blended with the cheese and then baked and some used a crusty base for the cheesecake. Most Americans have grown up eating crunchy crushed cookies or digestive biscuits or crackers being powdered and set with butter at the base of a well-flavoured cheese mixture which would chill and set on the base and come out wonderfully perfect when sliced.

While technically speaking cheesecakes are a version of pies and not cakes since the base structure is usually unleavened. Most baked varieties of cheesecakes use a custard base for the fillings, which are comprised of milk, sugar, eggs, salt, vanilla, and other flavourings in addition to the cheese. A small amount of flour, corn starch, arrowroot, and potato starch can be found in some cheesecake recipes to help stabilise the mixture.
