Creamy and caramelized, Burnt Basque Cheesecake is here
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.
We’re in on the trend and created our own version of Burnt Basque Cheesecake. Just in time for party season—this dessert 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.
With holiday entertaining in full swing, you can dress it up with fruit compote or leave it au naturel. Serve with parchment intact, then unwrap at the table after your favourite holiday meal for a beautiful after-dinner delight. Enjoy!
