Cheese can be traced back about four thousand years, since cheese molds dating to that time have been found. It is thought that cheesecake was served to the athletes in the first Olympic Games in 776 BC.
The Romans conquered Greece and found out about this delicious dish. They then brought cheesecake from Greece to other parts of Europe but it did not appear in the United States until European immigrants arrived, bringing cheesecake recipes.

Cheesecake was known as "placenta" in Roman times and also as "libum." Early cheesecakes were made on a pastry base or in a pastry shell and sometimes offered to the gods in Roman temples.
An early Roman recipe for cheesecake calls for crushed cheese, flour and an egg. The ingredients would have been combined and cooked under a brick in a hot fire. Cheesecake preparation methods have obviously come a long way since then!
The Addition of Cream Cheese to Cheesecake
An American dairy man who was trying to copy a French cheese, Neufchatel, accidentally invented cream cheese instead in 1872. This cream cheese was distributed from 1880 onwards, in foil wrappers and was named Philadelphia.
New York's Phoenix Cheese Company bought the business in 1903 and the Philadelphia brand was bought in 1928 by the Kraft Cheese Company, who later became Kraft Foods.
Pasteurized cheese was invented in 1912 and pasteurized Philadelphia is still the most popular cheese for making cheesecakes today.
Cheesecake with Jello Recipes
Did you know that you can make cheesecake with jello? The crunchy biscuit layer and cool, creamy layer are wonderful underneath a fruity jello layer.
The following recipe for no bake raspberry cheesecake serves eight people (or four if you want a big portion each!) and is very simple to make. There is no baking involved so, as long as you can measure out the ingredients and combine them, there is nothing that can go wrong. You can replace the raspberry jello for another flavor of jello and the raspberries for another kind of fruit if you want to make a different flavor of jello cheesecake recipe.
How to Make Raspberry Jello Cheesecake
What you will need:
3 oz package raspberry jello
Handful fresh or thawed raspberries
1 1/4 cups white sugar
1 cup boiling water
1/4 cup melted butter
2 teaspoons vanilla essence
1 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 big can well chilled Carnation milk
8 oz cream cheese
How to make it:
Combine the graham cracker crumbs with the butter and 1/4 cup of the sugar and press this mixture on to the base of a glass pie plate. Chill it in the refrigerator.
Dissolve the jello in the boiling water and stir well. Combine the cream cheese, the rest of the sugar and the vanilla in a mixer and beat until it is smooth. Whip the Carnation milk in another bowl and add the cooled jello mixture.
Add the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla mixture to the whipped milk and jello and stir well. Add the raspberries. Pour the jello mixture on top of the graham crumb crust. Chill for at least four hours, and then serve.
