Super Creamy Burnt Basque Cheesecake 🍮🔥✨

This cheesecake is unlike the classic New York-style. Expect a caramelised top and a custard-like creamy filling that melts in your mouth.

Ingredients

• 250 g cream cheese
• 60 g (¼ cup / 2 oz) sugar
• 5 g cake flour
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 whole egg

Instructions 👩‍🍳

1. Preheat oven: Set oven to 200°C (390°F). Line a small round baking pan with parchment paper.
2. Mix batter: Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and mix well. Stir in egg yolk, whole egg, and cake flour until creamy.
3. Pour: Transfer mixture into prepared pan.
4. Bake: Bake for 25–30 minutes until the top is deeply golden and slightly burnt. The center should jiggle slightly.
5. Cool: Let cheesecake cool in the pan. Chill for at least 2 hours before slicing.
6. Serve: Enjoy plain or with a dusting of powdered sugar.

Tips

• Extra creamy: Add 50 ml cream for richer texture.
• Variation: Infuse with lemon zest or vanilla for subtle flavor.
• Serving idea: Pair with fresh berries or caramel drizzle.
