-'''Cheesecake''' is a [[dessert]] consisting of a topping made of soft, fresh [[cheese]] on a base made from [[biscuit]], [[pastry]] or [[Sponge cake|sponge]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.fergusonplarre.com.au/History/Cheescakes.html|author=Ferguson Plarre Bakehouses|title=A History of Cheesecakes|publisher=www.fergusonplarre.com.au|accessdate=2008-10-12}}</ref> The topping is frequently sweetened with [[sugar]] and flavored or topped with [[fruit]], [[Nut (fruit)|nuts]], fruit flavored drizzle and/or [[chocolate]].
-==History==
-Cheesecake was already a popular dish in [[ancient Greece]] before Romans adopted it with the conquest of Greece.<ref>Dana Bovbjerg, Jeremy Iggers, ''The Joy of Cheesecake'', Barron's Educational Series, 1989</ref> The earliest attested mention of a cheesecake is by the Greek physician [[Aegimus]], who wrote a book on the art of making cheesecakes ({{polytonic|πλακουντοποιικόν σύγγραμμα}}—''plakountopoiikon suggramma'').<ref>[[Callimachus]], ''ap. Athen'', xiv. p. 643, e</ref><ref>[http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.04.0057%3Aentry%3Dplakountopoiiko%2Fs πλακουντοποιικός], Henry George Liddell, Robert Scott, ''A Greek-English Lexicon'', on Perseus</ref> [[Cato the Elder]]'s ''[[De Agri Cultura]]'' includes [[recipe]]s for two cakes for religious uses: ''libum'' and ''placenta''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.novaroma.org/religio_romana/cato_recipes.html|author=|title=Cato's 'De Agricultura': Recipes |publisher=www.novaroma.org|accessdate=2008-10-12}}</ref> Of the two, placenta is most like modern cheesecakes, having a crust that is separately prepared and baked.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.culinaryschools.com/newsletter/July%202007%20CulinarySchools.com%20Newsletter.pdf|author=www.culinaryschools.com|title=A Bit of Food History: Cheesecake|publisher=www.culinaryschools.com|accessdate=2008-10-12}}</ref> In 1872, William Lawrence from Chester, NY, along with other dairymen, came up with a way of making an "unripened cheese" that is heavier and creamier by accident, actually looking for a way to recreate the soft, French cheese, [[Neufchâtel (cheese)|Neufchatel]].<ref>[http://whatscookingamerica.net/History/Cakes/Cheesecake.htm cheesecake History]</ref> Lawrence distributed the cheese in foil, becoming a brand that is familiarly recognized as "[[Philadelphia cream cheese|Philadelphia]]". Later on in 1912, [[James L. Kraft|James Kraft]] invented a form of this cream cheese, but pasteurized it; this is now the most commonly used cheese for cheesecake.<ref>[http://inventors.about.com/od/cstartinventions/a/Cheesecake.htm The History of Cheesecake and Cream Cheese] </ref>
-==Styles==
-Cheesecakes can be broadly categorized into two basic types: [[Baking|baked]] and unbaked. Each comes in a variety of styles determined by region:
-===North America===
-[[File:Cheesecake on a stick.jpg|right|thumb|A slice of cheesecake covered with chocolate and served on a stick]]
-[[North America]] has several different recipes for cheesecake and this usually depends on the region in which the cake was baked, as well as the cultural background of the person baking it.<ref name="mitchell">{{cite news|last=Mitchell|first=Russ|title=Say Cheesecake!|url=http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/11/18/sunday/main7067769.shtml|accessdate=17 December 2010|newspaper=CBS News|date=21 November 2010}}</ref> These cheesecakes are typically baked before serving. One can also buy premade cheesecake from stores all around the United States and Canada.
-{{cookbook|New York Cheesecake}}
-* [[New York]]-style cheesecake relies upon heavy [[cream]]. Usually, cheesecake is made from [[cream cheese]], [[Egg (food)|eggs]] and egg yolks to add a richness and a smooth consistency. It is baked in a special 13–15&nbsp;cm (5–6&nbsp;inches) tall [[springform]] pan in many [[restaurants]]. Some recipes use [[cottage cheese]] and [[lemon]] for distinct texture and flavor or add a drizzle of [[chocolate]] or [[strawberry]] sauce to the basic recipe. Because cheesecake can be made kosher, the feature is often used to market the cakes to Jewish customers and to others concerned with authenticity and quality.
-* [[Sour cream]]-style uses sour cream instead of heavy cream. This makes the cheesecake more resilient to freezing and is the method by which most frozen cheesecakes are made.
-* [[Pennsylvania Dutch]]-style cheesecake uses a slightly tangy type of cheese with larger curds and less water content, called pot or farmer's cheese.
-* [[Philadelphia]]-style cheesecake is lighter in texture, yet richer in flavor than New York-style cheesecake.
-* [[Farmer's cheese]] cheesecake is the contemporary implementation for the traditional use of baking to preserve fresh cheese, and is often baked in a cake form along with fresh fruit like a tart.
-* Country-style cheesecake uses [[buttermilk]] to produce a firm texture while decreasing the [[pH]] (increasing acidity) to extend shelf life.
-* [[Lactose]]-free cheesecake may be made either with lactose-free cream cheese or as an imitation using [[Veganism|vegan]] recipes combining non-dairy cream cheese alternatives with other lactose-free ingredients.
-* [[Gooey butter cake]] is a St. Louis variant that has a layer of regular cake with a cheesecake top.
-In the United States, July 30 has been unofficially declared National Cheesecake Day.<ref>[http://www.holidayinsights.com/moreholidays/July/cheesecakeday.htm Holiday Insights] Retrieved July 30, 2009</ref>
-Savory cheesecakes are also made, often for an [[hors d'oeuvre]] or served with accompanying [[salad]]s.
-===British, Irish, Australian and New Zealand===
-In the [[United Kingdom]],  [[Republic of Ireland|Ireland]], [[Australia]] and [[New Zealand]], cheesecake is typically made with a base of crushed, buttered [[biscuits]] and often topped with a fruit compote. The most common commercial varieties are [[black cherry]], [[blackcurrant]], [[strawberry]], [[passionfruit]], [[raspberry]], and [[lemon curd]]. The usual filling is a mixture of cream cheese, sugar and cream and it is not baked, but refrigerated. Gelatine (sometimes in the form of fruit-flavored dessert [[Gelatin dessert|jelly]]) may also be mixed in with the cheese/cream mixture to keep the filling firm. Cheesecake is a popular menu item in coffee shops and pubs, and there has been a proliferation of more esoteric varieties, such as [[banoffee]] flavor, [[coffee]], [[tea]], chocolate, [[Irish cream]], [[white chocolate]] and even [[marshmallow]].
-===Bulgarian===
-* [[Bulgarian cuisine|Bulgarian]]-style cheesecake uses [[cream cheese]] in a New York-style filling and [[Smetana (cream)|smetana]] for a top layer. Often, ground nuts are added to the crust mixture.
-===Italian===
-* [[Ancient Roman cuisine|Ancient Roman]]-style cheesecake uses [[honey]] and a [[ricotta]]-like cheese along with flour and is traditionally shaped into loaves. Some recipes call for [[Bay leaf|bay leaves]], which may have been used as a preservative.{{Citation needed|date=November 2008}}
-* [[Italian cuisine|Italian]]-style cheesecake uses [[ricotta]] or [[mascarpone]] cheese, sugar, [[vanilla]] extract, and sometimes [[barley]] flakes. This type of cheesecake is typically drier than American styles. Often, small bits of candied fruit are added.
-===French===
-* [[French cuisine|French]]-style cheesecakes are very light, feature gelatin as a binding ingredient, and are typically only 3 to 5&nbsp;cm (1 to 2&nbsp;inches) tall. This variety gets its light texture and flavor from [[Neufchâtel (cheese)|Neufchâtel cheese]].
-===Greek===
-* [[Greek cuisine|Greek]]-style cheesecake commonly uses [[Mizithra cheese|mizithra]] and it is called [[Tiropita]]. It's made with layers of buttered [[phyllo]] and filled with a cheese-egg mixture. Other editions can be found, which use thick pastry or puff-pastry instead of phyllo.
-===Swedish===
-[[File:0stkaka.jpg|thumb|Swedish ''[[Ostkaka]]'']]
-* [[Swedish cuisine|Swedish]]-style cheesecake differs greatly from other cheese cakes. A Swedish cheesecake is not layered and is traditionally produced by adding [[rennet]] to milk and letting the [[casein]] coagulate. It is then baked in an [[oven]] and served warm. Since the process of curdling milk is somewhat complicated, alternative recipes intended for home cooking instead use cottage cheese as a base to simulate the texture of the dessert. Swedish-style cheesecake is traditionally served with [[jam]] and [[whipped cream]] or [[ice cream]]. There are two different types of Swedish cheesecake, from different regions in Sweden. To avoid confusion with other cheesecakes, Swedish cheesecake is usually called [[ostkaka]], its [[Swedish language|Swedish]] name.
-===Central European===
-[[Image:Käsekuchen.JPG|thumb|Käsekuchen - [[German cuisine|German]]-style cheesecake uses [[Quark (food)|quark cheese]]]]
-[[File:Bavarian-Cheesecake.gif|thumb|Baked Cheesecake]]
-* [[German cuisine|German]]-style cheesecake (''Käsekuchen'', ''Quarkkuchen'', ''Matzkuchen''; ''Topfenkuchen'' in Austria) uses [[Quark (cheese)|quark cheese]]. The ''Käsesahnetorte'' (cheese cream [[tart]]) adds cream and is not baked. Germany is famous for its unique cheesecake recipes that add a bit of sweet and sour taste, said to “melt in your mouth”. This recipe is sometimes translated into English using rennet-based [[cottage cheese]], but a true ''Quarkkuchen'' uses quark cheese made from sour milk. Quark is used for the famous German or Bavarian Baked Cheesecake.
-* [[Netherlands|Dutch]]/[[Belgium|Belgian]]-style cheesecakes are typically flavored with melted bittersweet chocolate. Belgian cheesecake also includes a ''[[speculaas]]'' crust (''speculaas'' is a traditional Dutch-Belgian biscuit).
-* [[List of Polish cuisine dishes#Dessert|Polish]] ''sernik'' (cheesecake), one of the most popular desserts in Poland, is made primarily using [[twaróg]], a type of fresh cheese.
-===Latin American===
-* [[Brazil]]ian-style cheesecake usually has a layer of [[guava]] [[marmalade]] (''goiabada'').
-* [[Argentina]]: Is usually served with strawberry or another berry marmalade on top.
-===Asian===
-[[Asian cuisine|Asian-style]] cheesecake flavors include [[matcha]] (powdered Japanese green tea), [[lychee]] and [[mango]]. Asian-style cheesecakes are also lighter in flavor, and are sometimes light and spongy in texture. Compared to its counterparts, it is also considerably less sweet.
-====Japanese====
-[[Image:Japanese Cheesecake.jpg|thumb|Japanese white chocolate cheesecake]]
-* [[Japanese cuisine|Japanese]]-style cheesecake relies upon the [[emulsification]] of [[cornstarch]] and eggs to make a smooth [[flan]]-like texture and almost [[plasticine]] appearance.
-==Culinary uses and challenges==
-[[Image:Almond Cheesecake.jpg|left|thumb|250px|Cheescake with cream]]
-Almost all modern cheesecakes in the United States and Canada use [[cream cheese]]; in Italy, cheesecakes use [[ricotta]]; Germany and Poland use [[Quark (cheese)|quark cheese]]. Cheesecakes are most easily baked in a leak-proof [[springform pan]], often paired with a water bath to more evenly distribute the heat. <ref> http://www.dianasdesserts.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/bakingtips.cheesecakes/Cheesecakes.cfm</ref> Because of the high density of most cheesecakes, they continue baking for some time after removal from an oven.
-The type of cheese affects not only the texture and taste, but also the ability to incorporate certain types of ingredients. When cheesecake [[Batter (cooking)|batter]] is too thin, many cheesecakes will not be structurally sound and fall apart at the table. One way to get around this is to use unflavored [[gelatin]] or a little cornstarch beaten with the eggs.
-A common difficulty with baking cheesecakes is its tendency to “crack” when cooled. This is due to the coagulation of the beaten eggs in its batter. There are various methods to prevent this. One method is to bake the cheesecake in a hot water bath to ensure even heating. However, a major drawback to the 'bath' is water leaking into the springform pan despite layering the outside of the pan with aluminium foil. This is easily solved by placing a small (8" × 8") pan of water on the lowest oven rack; care needs to be taken when opening the oven to let the built-up steam escape. Other methods include blending a little [[cornstarch]] into the batter or baking the cheesecake at a lower temperature and slow cooling it in the oven, turned off, with the door ajar. If these methods fail, a common practice is to cover the top of the cheesecake with toppings such as fruit, whipped cream, or cookie crumbs. One additional method is to wrap a wet towel around the cake tin, which slows down the cooking of the outside edge and results in a flat top.

-==In popular culture==
-* The band [[King Missile]] has a song called "Cheesecake Truck". The song lasts for just over one minute, but the word 'cheesecake' is mentioned fourteen times. The song's protagonist claims to eat large numbers of cheesecakes during the first day of his job driving a cheesecake truck.
-* In the 1955 film ''[[Guys and Dolls (film)|Guys and Dolls]]'', Frank Sinatra's character, Nathan, eats cheesecake when he first meets Marlon Brando's character, Sky. (The references to cheesecake were inspired by [[Lindy's]] deli in New York City.<ref name="nyt-pascal">{{cite news | url= http://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F40911F8355F167493CAA8178ED85F438785F9 | title= Is Chef Pascal's Cheesecake Lindy's Long-Kept Secret? | publisher=''[[The New York Times]]'' | author=Craig Claiborne | date= May 18, 1977}}(quoting Abe Burrows, co-author of Guys and Dolls: "Damon Runyon was very fond of Lindy's cheesecake. In his stories he changed Lindy to Mindy, but he never tried to change the great cheesecake. ...We saw to it that our gambler hero, Sky Masterson, the highest roller of them all, was 'quite partial to Mindy's cheesecake'.")</ref>) Brando, a practical joker, knowing how much Sinatra hated cheesecake, flubbed each take so Sinatra would have to eat piece after piece of cheesecake. After filming repeated takes of the scene, Sinatra said he could not take one more bite.
-* Cheesecake was the favored dessert of ''[[The Golden Girls]]'' during their late-night talks around the kitchen table.
-* On an episode of [[MTV]] reality show ''[[Making the Band]]'', [[P. Diddy]] made the contestants walk to [[Junior's]] in [[Brooklyn]] to get him a piece of cheesecake. This was later satirized by [[Dave Chappelle]] on an episode of ''[[Chappelle's Show]]''.
-* In the popular sitcom, ''[[Friends]]''{{'}} season 7 episode, "The One With All The Cheesecakes", [[Rachel Green|Rachel]] and [[Chandler Bing|Chandler]] steal and enjoy a number of their neighbor's cheesecakes, and become addicted to them.
-* In 1999, at one of the weekend-long [[Phish festivals]], Big Cypress, held at the Seminole Indian Reservation in southern Florida, New Years Weekend, ABC Nightly World News broadcast a performance of "[[Heavy Things]]".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.phish.net/hpb/1999.html#12-31-99|author=Dan Hantman|title=Phish.Net HPB: 1999 Setlists|publisher=www.phish.net|accessdate=2008-10-12}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAC9DzV-tGs|author=ABC TV|title=Phish - Heavy Things: Peter Jennings Millenium Broadcast|publisher=ABC TV|accessdate=2008-10-12}}</ref> In an attempt to confuse viewers, members of the band requested that instead of applause at the end of the song, the audience chant "cheesecake" over and over. It became a running joke for [[Phish]] to reference cheesecake throughout the duration of the show. During a performance of "[[You Enjoy Myself]]", the band went into a vocal jam in which each of them sang "cheesecake", types of cheesecake, and so forth. This has since been commonly referred to as the "Ben Milan Jam".
-* The [[Hanna Barbera]] cartoon ''[[2 Stupid Dogs]]'' often featured cheesecake and how much particularly the little dog loved it.
