hello stina,
It is not cheesecake of American origin, the ancient Greeks are said to have had something similar to satiate athletes during the Olympic Games. However, it was the production of Philadelphia cheese in the United States that became an important component of the American variant and made it hugely popular, first in the United States and then in the rest of the world.
Cheesecake is easy to prepare. This technique is simple. Crumbled buns on the bottom, then delicious buns on top.
Here are three recipes. One goes into the oven to freeze and the other goes into the freezer. The third option, in the language of the chef, is to coat the cake (that is, it stands on its own) with gelatin or another thickener.
Choose what suits your time and desire. It can be made from glass for a sofa hanger or as a cake for a party.
