History and Origin of Semi-Frozen Cheesecake
Semi-frozen cheesecake is a dessert that has gained popularity in several Latin American countries thanks to its soft and fresh texture. Its origin is related to traditional European cheesecake recipes, which were adapted by local cooks using accessible ingredients and simple techniques.
In different Latin American countries, this dessert has various names. For example, in Mexico it is common to call this dessert "cold cheesecake," while in Argentina some people know it as "no-bake cheesecake" or simply "cold cake."
