Blueberries and cream cheese have a long tradition of blueberries and cream cheese, as well as cream cheese
People used to only gather blueberries from the wild at a time when people only collected blueberries from the wild. Dr. Frederick V. Coville's findings and Elizabeth Coleman White's study that the blueberry's successful transplanting and domestication of the blueberry wasn't until the early 1900s that successful transplanting and domestication of the blueberry was possible.

Some may consider the blueberry cheesecake to be a truly American dessert, given the blueberry's past and the introduction of cream cheese. Cream cheese has been a part of American dessert making since about the 1820s, although recipes for cheesecake were served to athletes in ancient Greece. However, mass production became possible after the onset of pasteurization. One dairy farmer from Chester, New York, decided to be the first. William A. Lawrence bought a Neufchatel factory to begin his production, and in 1873, the first mass-produced cream cheese became a reality.
