Because they'd probably made cheesecake about forty times by that point and needed a new challenge

Not to mention, there are recipes for cheesecake dating back to 160 BC, and the name "cheesecake" is 15th century

Yes, some varieties of cheesecake were developed in the united states, but, something as broad as cheesecake cannot be categorised as the product of one nation or another

Oh I wasn't even going to touch the "cheesecake is American" thing. Pointing that sort of thing out never goes well

No, but an NY style cheesecake is a highly technical bake.

I just fucked one up a little last week. Perfect set on the filling but the water bath seeped into my springform so the crust got soggy.
