Cheesecake is a dessert that has won over palates around the world, with a history dating back to ancient Greece, where a simple version was prepared to feed athletes in the Olympic Games. Over time, this delight crossed borders and was adapted by different cultures. In Latin America, cheesecake has different names and variations; for example, in Mexico it is commonly known as "pastel de queso", while in Argentina and Chile it is also called "cheesecake", but it often includes typical regional ingredients. The combination with peaches and amaretto, an Italian liqueur with an almond flavor, gives it a sophisticated and fruity touch that makes this recipe a perfect option to enjoy at celebrations or special occasions.
