Origin and Cultural Significance

Cheesecake traces its roots back to ancient Greece, where it was served as a celebratory food. The modern cream-cheese style rose to popularity in 20th-century America. Marshmallow fluff and whip desserts also became iconic in mid-century American kitchens, known for convenience and festive sweetness. Combining these two classics created a fun, no-bake dessert that symbolizes creativity and the joy of comfort baking.
