Cheesecake is one of the most popular desserts around today. A simple Google search on "cheesecake" returns over 1.6 million results. Isn't that astounding? What is it about cheesecake that generates such a following? To be honest, I have no idea, but it's been going on for a long time. The earliest known cheesecake recipe is from the 14th century, and cheesy concoctions were popular in ancient Rome. Who are we to fight a tradition with so long a history?
So I thought I'd do my part to satisfy the global hunger for cheesecake data with this Chocolate Velvet Cheesecake recipe. Enjoy it, cheesecake lovers, wherever you are.
