After the Torah was given at Har Sinai, the laws of kashrus became immediately incumbent on everyone, and they had no separate keilim for meat and milk, nor did they as yet know the halachos of shechitah and kashering meat. Only milchigs were ostensibly possible to be eaten at that point. At least, that’s what I was taught many decades ago. I think the real reason is that it was just a great excuse for Jewish women to make and eat cheesecake. I guess they had not yet heard of Tofutti.
