Cheesecake with berry jam in Spanish

The Cheesecake (Cheesecake) It is a dessert that consists of a dough made with cream cheese, served on a basis generally made of biscuits, but also can be done with cake.

The funny thing is that while everyone has a recipe for this type of cake, basically are two forms make it: when the recipe includes eggs, then the cake is cooked in the oven, and when does not include them, that can be done without oven using different ingredients and dispensing with eggs. This second option, simpler, is with which are going to make this cake, although we must bear in mind that it requires at least three hours of cold in the fridge.

This dessert is Greekthen he joined the Romans, but became popular in the United States, where by mistake, they invented the cheese cream in 1872 when William Lawrer of Chester tried to play the French Neufchâtel, and ended up getting the Philadelphia crea cheesewhich is as it has become known worldwide. In 1921 in New York, James Kraft created a new cheese pasteurized and creamy, buying the brand, that the dessert is finished being the most widely used in confectionery... Hence the famous New York Cheesecake. This cheese has many other applications in the kitchen, already its softness they do very combined in all sorts of recipes, for example I remember now the base of toast with salmon and Roe, or used as filling snacks cherry tomatoes, or even part of the Westernization of sushi, adding creaminess to the makis (rolls) to smooth the rest of ingredients.

But it is certainly is, is the king of cheeses in confectionery's United States and Canada, however in Italy ricotta cheese is used much more in countries controeuropeos as Poland and Germany, Quark cheese, which is assimilated to a kind of cottage cheese.

The main of this type of pie ingredient is therefore, cream cheese, which is enriched with eggs, sugar and essences ranging from coffee to chocolate or lemon. The possibilities are infinite, as many as you imagine you.

Most often, this cake has a biscuit base or cake a cooking ring that used removable for your development, but also molds is feasible to make the traditional form, but you can start your imagination and make it equal in other types of containers for a one-on-one presentation and more chic: in cocktail glasses or individual cups.

Is not a dessert that is particularly light because it includes enough sugar, but on the contrary, it is a surefire because its texture soft and creamy It makes that object of desire of children and adults.
