Jackie’s Recipe of the Month: Burnt Basque Cheesecake

Here is our new favourite dessert! So easy to make and delicious.

Recipe from https://spanishsabores.com/burnt-basque-cheesecake-recipe/#recipe

 

Ingredients:

  • 1 kg Philadelphia cream cheese at room temperature.
  • 7 eggs
  • 400 g sugar. Note: for a less sweet cheesecake use 1 to 1.5 cups
  • 1 tablespoon of flour
  • 200 ml heavy cream

 

Method:

  1. Preheat oven to 210 degrees.
  2. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and, using an electric mixer, mix until smooth and creamy.
  3. Line a 25 cm springform pan or round baking pan with enough wax or parchment paper that it extends past the edges of the pan. This will help you remove the cheesecake from the pan later and will prevent it from sticking.

4. Bake on the centre rack for 35-50 minutes. The cake will rise quite a bit but don’t worry — it will settle when it’s out of the oven. Check after 40 minutes and, if it isn’t quite burnt enough on top, leave for another 5 minutes.

5. When the cake is brown and almost burnt looking, remove from oven. The centre shouldn’t be completely set. It will wiggle a lot when you move the pan like jelly.

6. Let it start to cool gradually by leaving it out on the counter. After an hour or so, move the cake to the fridge to cool completely.

7. Serve with your favourite cheesecake sides such as a bowl of berries.
