 INTRODUCTION

 Today, you can find cheesecake on the menu of almost

every coffee shop or pastry shop. Yes, and not just one
kind, but several, prepared according to classic or
author's recipes. Soft, tender, moderately sweet – it is
clear why this magical dessert has gained millions of
fans around the world. We offer you to delve into the
history of its appearance, and also get acquainted
with several of its varieties of dessert, popular today.
 With the expansion of the borders of the Roman Empire, cheese pie was introduced
in Britain and other parts of Western Europe. Moreover, in each region, the recipe
was modified in accordance with local traditions. So, in the preserved English
recipe of the 14th century, spices were added to the pie in addition to cheese, milk
and eggs. The recipe for a cheese pie of the 16th century sounds like this: take hard
cheese, cut it into thin small slices and soak in sweetened water or milk for 3
hours. Then grind thoroughly again, mix with eggs, sugar, butter and bake.
 Since the 18th century, cheesecake has become more and more like a modern one.
Yeast disappeared from the recipe, and not ordinary eggs were added to the filling,
but beaten eggs. Along with the yeast, the bread flavor disappeared, and the beaten
eggs made the cheesecake texture more airy and tender. So the dish became more
like a dessert rather than an ordinary pie.
 Cheesecake came to the territory of America together with the first settlers. And
here he became the way we used to see him.
 THE HISTORY OF THE MODERN CHEESECAKE

 Modern cheesecake has gained worldwide popularity

thanks to American culture. But its origins should be
sought in antiquity.Even in ancient Greece, a pie made of
sheep or goat cheese mixed with honey, flour and eggs
was popular. It was even awarded to the winners of the
Olympic Games. After the Romans conquered Greece,
they also got their hands on the secret of making
dessert. In ancient Rome, small pies were often used in
religious rituals as offerings to the gods.

 preparation
Despite the fact that there are several hundred
recipes for making cheesecake, its main
ingredient is cheese, less often another
fermented milk product. And the name of the
dessert itself translates from English as "cheese
pie".

Usually the base of a cheesecake is made from crushed shortbread cookies or

crackers. The main part, or filling, is mixed from soft cheese, cream and sugar.
Sometimes eggs or gelatin are used to fasten the components in the filling. On
top of the cake is decorated with chocolate, whipped cream, jelly and fruit.
Before serving, it must be kept in the refrigerator. Depending on the
composition of the ingredients and the method of preparation, the appearance
and texture of the dessert can vary from a fairly dense casserole to the most
delicate souffle.
 Cheesecake is prepared in different ways:

Baked in the oven like a regular
pie. It is very important to observe
the correct temperature regime so
that it does not crack from too
much heat.
They are cooked in a water bath so that
the filling warms up evenly and the
eggs gradually bind all the
components.They do without baking at
all (in this case, gelatin is used instead
of eggs in the recipe).
