The history of cheesecakes dates nearly more than 2,000 years back. The earliest cheesecakes are believed to have been developed by Ancient Greeks around 200 A.D.

芝士蛋糕的起源可回溯到2000年前。 最早的芝士蛋糕被認為是古希臘人在公元200年左右開發的。

Technically, that’s the earliest use of cheesecake that we know of because it was the first instance where the soft cheesecake recipes were written down.

準確來講，古希臘人是最早有芝士蛋糕食譜紀錄的族群。

The dessert traveled around the world. In Italy, it was made from mild ricotta cheese.

這項甜點在世界各地都看得到。在義大利，它是由溫和的乳清乾酪製成的。

In Germany, the cakes are made from a special cheese called quark. Americans tend to use cream cheese.

在德國，蛋糕是由一種叫做誇克的特殊乳酪製成的。 美國人傾向於使用奶油乳酪。

  3. 6 tablespoons (85g) melted butter, 

  4. 1/8 teaspoon salt

外殼

  1. 1 1/2 杯 (150公克) 格拉漢姆餅乾碎屑(大約 10 整塊格拉漢姆餅乾碎)

  3. 2 large eggs, at room temperature

  4. 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract

  2. 2/3 杯 (133公克) 砂糖

  3. 2個大雞蛋，在室溫下

  4. 1茶匙香草精

After preparing these ingredients, you can follow the steps to make a cheesecake

Instructions指示

  1. Select a pie pan whose inside top dimension is at least 9", and whose height is at least 1 1/4". Preheat the oven to 350°F.

選擇一個內部頂部尺寸至少為9英寸，高度至少為1 1/4英寸的餡餅鍋。 將烤箱預熱至350華氏度。

  1. To make the crust: Stir together all of the crust ingredients, mixing until thoroughly combined.

製作外殼：將所有外殼成分攪拌在一起，攪拌至徹底混合。

  1. Press the crumbs into the bottom and up the sides of the pie pan, making a thicker layer on the bottom than on the sides.

將麵包屑壓入餡餅鍋的底部和側面，使底部比側面更厚。

  1. To make the filling: Mix together the room-temperature cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Mix in the eggs and vanilla, again mixing until smooth. To avoid beating too much air into the batter, use a mixer set at low-medium speed. To avoid lumps, make sure the cream cheese is softened, and/or at room temperature.

製作餡料：將室溫奶油乳酪和糖混合在一起，直到光滑。 混合雞蛋和香草，再次攪拌至光滑。 為了避免將太多的空氣打入麵糊中，請使用中低速攪拌機。 為了避免結塊，請確保奶油乳酪軟化，和/或在室溫下。

 

  1. Set the pie pan onto a baking sheet, if desired; this makes it easier to transport in and out of the oven, and also protects the bottom of the crust from any potential scorching. Pour the filling into the crust.

如果需要，將餡餅平底鍋放在烤盤上；這樣可以更容易地進出烤箱，還可以保護麵包皮底部免受任何潛在的灼熱。 將餡料倒入外殼中。

  1. To bake the cheesecake: Place the cheesecake in the oven. Bake it for 20 minutes, then add a crust shield; or shield the crust with strips of aluminum foil. Bake for an additional 10 minutes (for a total of about 30 minutes). A digital thermometer inserted into the filling 1" from the edge should read between 165 and 170°F; the filling won't look entirely set in the center.

烤芝士蛋糕：將芝士蛋糕放入烤箱。 烘烤20分鐘，然後加入外殼遮蔽；或用鋁箔條遮蔽外殼。 再烘烤10分鐘（總共約30分鐘）。 數字溫度計插入離邊緣1英寸的填充物應在165°F和170°F之間讀取；填充物看起來不會完全設定在中心。

  1. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and set it on a rack to cool. Once the cake is cool, refrigerate it, covered, until you're ready to serve it.

將芝士蛋糕從烤箱中取出，放在架子上冷卻。 蛋糕冷卻後，蓋上蓋子冷藏，直到你準備好食用。

  1. Serve cheesecake in wedges, with fresh fruit if desired.  

將芝士蛋糕切成楔形，如果需要，可以配上新鮮水果。

 

  1. Storage information: Store any leftover cheesecake in the refrigerator for several days; freeze for longer storage.

儲存資訊：將任何剩餘的芝士蛋糕存放在冰箱中幾天；冷凍以延長儲存時間。

conclusion 

In conclusion, no matter how you celebrate the  International cheesecake day, just have fun! Also, it is a good excuse to take a piece of dessert when you are on diet.
