Where Does Cheesecake Come From?
The Greeks made the first known cheesecake all the way back in the 5th century BCE. They pound together cheese, flour, and honey, and then bake the luscious mixture into a dessert cake. It was a popular recipe during the early Olympics and for weddings. Over the centuries and even now, the recipe continues to evolve. From incorporating ingredients like eggs and cream cheese to using other flavorful elements like fruit and syrups, cheesecake has come a long way from its beginnings. In our pumpkin spice-crazed world, this recipe is a variation on tradition that reflects what we love today! Try Ritual House’s lovely recipe for Pumpkin Cheesecake.
