Classic cheesecake with cream cheese is a refined treat from European cuisine. Its roots trace back to ancient Greece, where similar desserts were served to Olympic athletes. Later, it became a favorite of French and American pastry chefs. The delicate structure of the creamy filling made from cream cheese with a subtle vanilla note harmoniously complements the crunchy base of shortbread cookies. The sweetness balance is achieved with a moderate amount of sugar, while butter adds softness to the texture. This dessert can be served as a standalone treat or complemented with berries, fruits, and chocolate. An ideal choice for a cozy evening or festive table, it captivates with its delicate taste and elegant execution.
