About Cheesecake

Cheesecake is a rich, creamy dessert made primarily from cream cheese, sugar, eggs, and a crust that is often crafted from crushed graham crackers or biscuits. Originating from ancient Greece, it has evolved through various culinary traditions and is now enjoyed worldwide with regional variations, including New York-style and Japanese-style cheesecakes. While cheesecake is a source of calcium due to its dairy content and provides energy from carbohydrates and fats, it is also high in calories, saturated fats, and sugar, making moderation key for those watching their diet. Additional toppings such as fruits or nuts can enhance its nutritional profile, offering vitamins, antioxidants, and healthy fats. Often celebrated for its velvety texture and sweet flavor, cheesecake remains a decadent treat best enjoyed occasionally as part of a balanced diet.
