Cheesecake is a favorite dessert and on May 26th, we celebrate National Blueberry Cheesecake Day! Originating in ancient Greece, Americans didn’t get into cheesecake until the late 1800s and the popular New York-style cheesecake wasn’t created until the 1900s. There are many types of cheesecakes specific to different regions, but today is all about blueberry.
