The modern cheesecake gained its worldwide popularity thanks to American culture. But its origins should be sought in antiquity.

Cheesecake

Back in ancient Greece, a pie made of sheep or goat cheese mixed with honey, flour, and eggs was popular. It was even given to the winners of the Olympic Games. After Greece was conquered by the Romans, they got their hands on the secret of how to make the dessert. In ancient Rome, small pies were often used in religious rituals as offerings to the gods.

Since the 18th century, cheesecake has become increasingly similar to modern cheesecake. Yeast disappeared from the recipe, and whipped eggs were added to the filling instead of the usual ones. Along with the yeast, the bread flavor disappeared, and the beaten eggs made the texture of the cheesecake airier and tender. Thus, the dish became more like a dessert than an ordinary pie. The cheesecake came to America with the first settlers. And here it became what we are used to seeing.
