History of National White Chocolate Cheesecake Day
Ancient records show that the early Aztec and Mayan people consumed chocolate in religious rituals. Not the chocolate we are familiar with today, but the cocoa bean. Once the early Europeans were introduced to chocolate, many consumed it as a beverage, and after gaining popularity, people started experimenting with many recipes. Soon after, chocolate cake enjoyed unparalleled popularity in the 19th century, and people started using chocolate in more baked goods. Confectioners realized that chocolate in desserts had an immense marketing value.
White chocolate, on the other hand, appeared much later. The Nestle company began making white chocolate in the 1930s. Meanwhile, in North America, Kuno Baedeker developed white chocolate in 1945. In the strictest sense of the term, white chocolate isn’t chocolate at all. It is made from cocoa butter, sugar, milk solids, and sometimes, vanilla. It does not contain cocoa solids, which are found in milk chocolate and dark chocolate.
The origin of cheesecake is easily traced. During the 1930s, the famous New York-style cheesecake was created at a restaurant called Lindy’s, combining cream cheese and cake into one delicious treat. While the restaurant shut down in the 1960s, the owner of the restaurant released the recipe to the public through the magazine Duncan Hines which acclaimed restaurants consult for their food innovations. Since then, the recipe has traveled far and wide, and today almost every restaurant serves cheesecake with its own variation of the original recipe.
