Variety of different cheesecake styles
Cheesecake is a globally famous dessert with a smooth texture and rich flavor. Few people know that this cake has a history of thousands of years.
According to records, the first version appeared in ancient Greece with the name plakous, made from grated cheese, honey and flour, often served to Olympic athletes. From there, the cake followed Western cultures to spread throughout Europe and America.

Every country has its own version of cheesecake. In Italy, it's made with ricotta, which is light and low in fat. In Germany, it's made with quark cheese, which is slightly tart and smooth.
However, the most popular modern cheesecake today is said to have originated in America, with a rich cream cheese filling and a crispy biscuit base - commonly known as New York-style cheesecake.
Not only stopping at the traditional version, cheese cake today has become a creative "playground" for food lovers.

Simple Homemade Cheesecake Recipe
In Vietnam, one of the popular desserts is no-bake cheesecake. With a smooth cream cheese filling, a slightly sour fruit topping and a crispy, fragrant crust. The fruits commonly used for this type of cake are raspberries, strawberries, passion fruit...
The special thing about no-bake cheesecake is that although it looks complicated, it is quite simple to make. The ingredients only include unsalted butter, biscuits, salt, freeze-dried fruit for the base and gelatin, whipping cream, sugar, lemon juice, and cream cheese for the filling.

Unlike regular cheesecakes, no-bake cheesecake has a base made from crushed biscuits mixed with unsalted butter and dried fruit, which naturally enhances the sweet and sour flavor and creates eye-catching color accents.
The cream filling is made from full-fat cream cheese, cold whipping cream and fresh lemon juice, lightly bound with gelatin, helping to keep the cake smooth.
The highlight of the no-bake cheesecake is the cooked fruit sauce that covers the surface of the cake. Fruit (fresh or frozen) is boiled with sugar and lemon juice until it thickens, then gelatin is added to create a smooth topping.
However, when pouring this on the cake, be careful not to let it get too hot as it will melt the cream, but also do not let it cool completely as the mixture may solidify before it can be spread on the cake.

The cake should be made 4-6 hours before serving to allow time to chill and set perfectly. When serving, you can decorate it with fresh fruit, lemon zest, mint leaves or crushed dried fruit for an eye-catching effect.
The soft, cold and slightly sour filling combined with the crispy crust will make it difficult for anyone to stop after the first bite.
Don't let the sauce cool completely to room temperature, as it will start to solidify. However, if it's too hot, the cream cheese underneath may melt. The ideal temperature is when the sauce is still slightly warm, which helps to keep the perfect texture for both layers - Photo: Spatuladesserts
