Cheesecake is a rich, creamy dessert originating from ancient Greece and later popularized in European and American cuisine. It is typically made with a base of cream cheese, sugar, eggs, and heavy cream, layered on a crust of crushed cookies or graham crackers, often bound with butter. Its velvety texture and versatility make it a favorite worldwide, with countless variations incorporating fruits, chocolates, nuts, or flavorings like vanilla. While cheesecake is a source of protein and calcium due to its dairy content, it is also high in saturated fats, refined sugars, and calories, making moderation key for a balanced diet. Opting for lighter versions using low-fat cream cheese or Greek yogurt can reduce its caloric and fat content, allowing for a more health-conscious indulgence.
