Mini cheesecake

Mini cheesecakes have been around for centuries, with recipes dating back to the Roman Empire. The first recorded recipe for mini cheesecakes was in the cookbook Apicius, which was written in the 4th century AD. This cookbook contained a recipe for small cheese tarts, which were made with a mixture of cheese, eggs, and honey.

The popularity of mini cheesecakes spread throughout Europe, and by the Middle Ages, there were many different variations of the recipe. In England, mini cheesecakes were often made with curd cheese, while in France they were made with cream cheese.

Mini cheesecakes became especially popular in the United States in the 20th century. The first known recipe for American-style mini cheesecakes was published in Fannie Farmer’s Boston Cooking-School Cookbook in 1896. This cookbook contained a recipe for “Small Cheese Cakes,” which were made with cream cheese, flour, sugar, and eggs.
