Gruyère AOP and red berry cheesecake
50'
A thin crust of biscuits, a thick layer of creamy mixture…cheesecake is as simple as that, but we have never invented anything more delicious. It’s the flagship product of New York!
The most American of cakes is in reality European. It could be the offshoot of ‘Käsekuchen, a soft German cream cheese cake, or perhaps that of ‘vatrouchka’, a Slavic specialty imported to the United States by European Jewish immigrants. Adopted by Americans, it was revised and adjusted with cream cheese over a graham cracker crust. Today the cheesecake of reference is the ‘New York cheesecake’ and is prepared with cream cheese.
