Creamy and caramelized, Burnt Basque Cheesecake
Burnt Basque cheesecake originated in the Basque country region of Spain and gained popularity for its unique characteristics—"burnt" top, creamy interior, and crustless structure. Since then, it's become a sought-after dessert, with variations and adaptations of the recipe being made by chefs and home bakers alike.
Our top-seller Burnt Basque Cheesecake checks all the boxes!
What makes it so special is the caramelization process that gives it its distinct "burnt" flavour. It’s initially baked at high heat to give the filling rise and to caramelize the natural sugar. It rises and falls like a soufflé, maintaining its decadent velvety texture on the inside and beautiful dark golden caramelized crust—creating a contrast of sweet and tangy with every bite.
Serve with parchment intact, then unwrap at the table for a beautiful after-dinner delight. Enjoy!
