May 26 is National Blueberry Cheesecake Day in the United States. It's unknown exactly how this holiday came to be, but it's celebrated each year on this date in honor of one of the world's most loved cake flavors.

The first cheesecake recipe reportedly dates back to Ancient Greece, and legend has it that it was served to the athletes during the first Olympic Games, since it is a good source of energy.

Through the centuries, the cheesecake has evolved and many different variants of it were born such as the strawberry cheesecake, cookies and cream cheesecake, chocolate cheesecake, mango cheesecake, blueberry cheesecake, and many others.

As its popularity reached different shores around the world, several unique twists or modifications were also done to its recipe.

For example, in the U.S. their primary ingredient for cheesecake is cream cheese, while Italians use ricotta, and Germans and Polish prefer quark, a special kind of curd cheese.

Plus, there are also no-bake and vegan varieties of the cheesecake.

And there's no doubt about it that the blueberry cheesecake remains one of the most popular cheesecake flavors in the country and in other parts of the world.

Its creamy, sweet, tangy taste is so irresistible and truly worth creating a holiday for.

So, make good use of this perfect excuse of a holiday to treat yourself to a decadent blueberry cheesecake today or in the next few days!
