Description

Cheesecake filling is a creamy and smooth mixture used as the main base in the preparation of cheesecakes, a very popular dessert in numerous cuisines around the world. This filling is generally composed of cream cheese, sugar, eggs, cream, and sometimes vanilla essence or lemon zest is added to give it aroma and flavor.

Origin: Cheesecake has its roots in ancient Greece, where primitive versions of this dessert were made, but the modern recipe for the filling has evolved primarily in European cuisine, especially in France and the United States, where the creamy texture and balanced flavor were perfected.

Properties: Cheesecake filling is rich in proteins and fats from the cheese and eggs, which gives it a dense and creamy texture. It is an appreciated source of calcium, but it can also be high in calories, so it is recommended to consume it in moderation. Furthermore, its versatility allows it to be combined with fruits, chocolate, or different toppings to create different variants of cakes.

Synonyms in the Hispanic world: although the most common term is "cheesecake filling," it can also be referred to as creamy cheese mixture, cheesecake mixture, or simply cheese cream for cakes. In some countries, it is called quesillo for cake, although this term varies regionally.
