Creamy, smooth and endlessly versatile, cheesecake has earned its place as a dessert favourite around the world.
Like many desserts, cheesecake can be enjoyed in more than just one way – whether you love it baked until golden or prefer the chilled, no-fuss kind straight from the fridge, there’s a version for everyone to fall for.
The origins of cheesecake stretch back to ancient Greece, where it was once served to athletes during the Olympic Games. Over time, the classic recipe made its way through Europe and eventually to America, where the rich, creamy New York-style cheesecake became iconic.
Today, this beloved treat continues to evolve with exciting flavours, textures and toppings.
