Sweet Sin: Cheesecakes you can kill for

Cheesecake is believed to have originated in ancient Greece. Though there is a dispute regarding the origination of cheesecakes but many historians believe that cheesecake was served to the athletes during the first Olympic Games held in 776 B.C. The appetizing dessert got it’s name when the Romans conquered Greece, the cheesecake recipe was just one spoil of war. They modified it including crushed cheese and eggs. These ingredients were baked under a hot brick and it was served warm. Occasionally, the Romans would put the cheese filling in a pastry. In the modern course of cooking the main and thickest layer, it usually consists of a mixture of soft, fresh cheese, eggs and sugar. If there is a bottom layer it often consists of a crust or base made from crushed cookies (or digestive biscuit), graham crackers, pastry or sponge cake. It may be baked or unbaked (usually refrigerated). Now, most of you would have tried out the classic Blueberry cheesecake or the New York cheesecake. Here we list out a few eclectic cheesecakes which you need to definitely try.
