About Cheesecake with cherry topping
Cheesecake with cherry topping is a rich and indulgent dessert that originated in ancient Greece and has since evolved into various styles across different cuisines, including the classic New York cheesecake popular in American baking. The dessert typically consists of a cream cheese-based filling atop a crust made of crushed biscuits or graham crackers, topped with cherries preserved in a sweet syrup. Nutritionally, cheesecake is calorie-dense due to its high fat (from cream cheese and butter) and sugar content. A standard slice can provide approximately 350–450 calories, along with protein, calcium, and vitamin A from the dairy base, and vitamin C and antioxidants from the cherries.
Health Benefits
- Provides calcium (15–20% of Daily Value per slice) essential for bone health and muscle function.
- Contains vitamin A from the cream cheese, supporting eye health and immune function.
- Cherries are rich in anthocyanins, antioxidants that may help reduce inflammation and support heart health.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store cheesecake in the refrigerator for up to 5 days in an airtight container. For longer storage, it can be frozen for up to 3 months; thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
