Cheesecake Day is observed annually on July 30th. There are dozens of different cheesecake varieties. Some of the most popular flavors are strawberry, key lime, and peanut butter cup.
It is a sweet dessert that is a mixture of soft fresh cheese, cream cheese or cottage cheese, eggs and sugar on a crust made from crushed graham crackers, crushed cookies, pastry or sponge cake.
James Kraft developed a form of pasteurized cream cheese in 1912. In 1928, Kraft acquired the Philadelphia trademark and marketed pasteurized Philadelphia Cream Cheese which is now the most commonly used cheese for cheesecake.
North America has several different styles of cheesecakes: New York-style cheesecake, Pennsylvania Dutch-style cheesecake, Philadelphia-style, Farmer cheese cheesecake, Country-style cheesecake, Lactose-free cheesecake, Cheesecake Kludys, Chicago Style cheesecake and Savory cheesecake.
