Super Easy And Creamy Basque Burnt Cheesecake Recipe | Mrs5cookbook (2024)

バスク風 チーズケーキ

Recently, the Basque Burnt Cheesecake Recipe has been generating quite a buzz in the culinary world. The idea of making it hadn’t even crossed my mind until my husband made a special request. After trying this delectable cheesecake at one of our cherished coffee shops, he couldn’t stop talking about how we should attempt to recreate it at home.

Despite its newfound popularity, the Basque Burnt Cheesecake has a fascinating history. Some accounts attribute its creation to as early as 1990. What sets this cheesecake apart from the traditional variety is its distinctive lack of a crust.

Traditional cheesecakes are typically prepared with a slow and gentle baking process in a water bath. In stark contrast, the Basque Burnt Cheesecake is known for its high-temperature, fast-baking method, which imparts its signature deeply burnished surface and bottom.

I also baked mine in a bread loaf pan.
