A simple recipe for making cheesecake balls (Tiktok/Mama Mila)
One of the most memorable scenes from the Back to the Future sequel features the 2015 McFly family during a routine dinner.
A silver pizza package (unmistakably Pizza Hut-branded, of course) is opened, and inserted into a sort of machine (also unmistakably Black & Decker-branded, of course), only to come out a few seconds later in a hot, family-size, half-and-half tray configuration in additions.
For Passover, Forever (And No Printer Required): The Perfect Cheesecake
"Mom, You Sure Can Hydrate a Pizza," the ultimate compliment is thrown into the air, just before Marty expresses a desire to purchase the new Hydrator, the one that delivers whole meals in just six seconds, half the time The exhausting wait required of them now.
Three and a half decades later, and a full eight years into Robert Zemeckis' future, we're still a long way from that instant prophecy.
Very far, but getting closer.
Take this historic cheesecake for example:
"Something I haven't tasted before."
The printed cheesecake
It is a 3D print made in the Columbia University laboratory in New York.
Like any home recipe that is implemented for the first time, this process also involved overcoming obstacles - the collapse of the dessert structure, in the case mentioned.
And like any truly successful home recipe, persistence pays off here as well.
That is, in a real cake.
"It definitely felt like something I hadn't tasted before," Jonathan Blutinger, a member of the research team and one of the tasting volunteers, told CNN, "I enjoyed the cake, of course, but it's a slightly unconventional combination. We're definitely not Michelin-starred chefs."
According to him, the big vision is to combine a food printer with a "Laser Cooker" and create a "digital chef", as he defined it, or a "One Stop Shop" on the kitchen counter.

The printing process
Scientists at #ColumbiaUniversity in the USA create world's first 3D-PRINTED #cheesecake?
The vegan dessert was completed in 30 minutes, compared to four hours & used just seven ingredients but really doesn't look very appealing.

The process took five printing attempts until finding the right shape and the exact thickness that would hold the different layers - cookies, peanut butter, strawberry jam, Nutella, banana, cherry syrup and frosting.
At the end of half an hour, there was a cake left on the tray, even a vegan one.
The main goal, apart from something sweet to close the day of course, was to illustrate the potential of printing technology, which until now was mainly used by completely different industries, and the way in which it can create a dramatic revolution in the kitchen.
Or in other words - create dishes from "cartridges" of spreads and powders, which will make meals more tempting.
"Cheesecake is the best thing we can present to the world right now, but the printer can do so much more. We can print chicken, beef, vegetables and cheese," Blutinger explained, pointing to the inevitable direction the world is heading, "once software touches industry." , you can't look back anymore. They move it forward in ways that we didn't think were possible before. This hasn't happened to cooking yet, with an emphasis on 'yet'."
