History of National Cream Cheese Brownie Day
There are several stories on the origins of chocolate brownies. One of the stories is that in 1893, Bertha Palmer, an affluent socialite wanted something special baked for the ladies while they attended the Chicago World’s Columbian Exposition. She asked the chef of Palmer House Hotel, which was owned by her husband, to make something similar to a cake, but only smaller. And thus, the Palmer House brownies were born.
However, the term “brownie” would only come up years later in 1896 in the book, “Boston Cooking School Book,” written by Fannie Farmer. In 1899, the first-known recipe of the chocolate brownie was printed in “Machias Cookbook,” and by 1907, the brownie had become a well-known dessert and started to become popular among people of all ages. Another theory holds that brownies were invented in the town of Bangor, Maine.
Over the years, many versions and varieties of brownies have come up. Brownies are enjoyed with peanut butter, marshmallows, etc. However, one of the most popular among these is the cream cheese brownie. Cream cheese, which started emerging in the 1500s, is a delicious dairy product obtained by mixing milk and cream. And when this is combined with chocolaty brownies, the result is an explosion of sweetness and creaminess and leaves your taste buds wanting more.
Though the exact origins are not known, National Cream Cheese Brownie Day has been celebrated on February 9, and is a day dedicated to this tasty dessert that is a favorite of millions worldwide.
