Today, Corinna is going to show you how to make cheesecake. Although, cheesecake is traditionally associated to countries like the United Kingdom and North America, in reality its origin goes back to the ancient Greece. It was then adopted by the Romans and many other civilizations that followed. That’s why our recipe has Greek yogurt as one of its main ingredients. As this is the Italian version of this exquisite dessert, the other essential ingredient in our version is ricotta cheese. The result is the same: easy peasy to make and delicious to the palate. Enjoy it!
