What is cheesecake?

The name says it all. A combination of cheese and cake. What could be better?
Depending on the type of cheesecake you prefer (baked or refrigerated), it is made of soft cheese (typically cream cheese, cottage cheese or ricotta), eggs and sugar. Some cheesecakes are made with a crust and some are made crustless. The crust is typically made of crushed biscuits and butter. Toppings can vary from different fruit such as berries, passion fruit, lemon and other flavors such as Oreo, Biscoff, or even Salted Caramel. The sky is the limit with this versatile dish. There are even recipes for savoury cheesecake.🤯

So where does cheesecake actually come from?

According to Wikipedia, it originated from Greece, but back in those days it was called something else, "Placenta cake".
That definitely does not sound appetizing. Thank goodness for modern cheesecake!
