CHEESECAKE
The
cheesecake is a typical dessert of the American tradition prepared with a
delicious cream cheese.
Its origins,
however, are very old and date back to ancient Greece; here the first trace of
cheesecake which we have information, dates back to 776 BC the island of Delos,
Greece, as a dessert served to the athletes during the first Olympic Games of
the story for a full of energy! In Europe, however, the cheesecake was brought
and handed down by the Romans. In 1872, an American dairyman, James L. Kraft,
in an attempt to create the French cheese Neufchatel, invented the pasteurized
fresh cheese which then called Philadelphia, and in 1880 began the widespread
use of this product and its use for the preparation of modern cheesecake.
Today, the
best cheesecake producers, according to submissions by the Americans
themselves, are in New York so if you find yourself in this charming city, not
to give up trying a piece.
There are
many variants, according to our tastes: cherry, lemon, coffee, strawberry,
chocolate even green tea!
The recipe that I offer provides a base formed
from crushed biscuits, digestive type, with the addition of butter and brown
sugar and put a cake pan. The filling of cheese instead we suggest you make by
mixing the ricotta with the Philadelphia to which you will add the softened
gelatin, syrup of cherries and pitted cherries.
Pour the
mixture into the pan above the base of the pan biscuits put in the refrigerator
for about 2 hours so that the cream will solidifies.
Now you can
enjoy your slice of cheesecake garnishing to your taste with syrup of cherries,
pitted cherries and a dollop of fresh mint.
