Cheesecake is one of the BEST desserts!
Who start the creation of Cheesecake?
Over 4,000 years ago in the fifth century BC, the ancient Greeks on
the island of Samos created the earliest known cheesecake. This
rudimentary cheesecake was made with patties of fresh cheese that were
then pounded smooth with flour and honey. The creation was then baked
on an earthenware griddle before being enjoyed by the masses. Back
then, cheesecake was considered a great source of energy and there is
evidence showing it was served to athletes during the first Olympic
Games in 776 BC. Cheesecake was also popular as a wedding dessert!

By the 1900s, New Yorkers were in love with this dessert. Virtually
every restaurant had its own version of cheesecake on their menu. New
Yorkers have vied for bragging rights for having the original recipe
ever since. Even though he is best known for his signature sandwiches,
Arnold Reuben (1883-1970) is generally credited for creating the New
York Style cheesecake. Reuben was born in Germany and he came to
America when he was young. The story goes that Reuben was invited to a
dinner party where the hostess served a cheese pie. Allegedly, he was
so intrigued by this dish that he experimented with the recipe until
he came up with the beloved NY Style cheesecake.
