Description
A creamy, decadent Basque cheesecake with a unique burnt top, perfect for slicing and serving at gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 16 oz Full-Fat Cream Cheese (Room temperature)
- 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar (Dissolved in mixture)
- 3 large Eggs (At room temperature)
- 1 cup Heavy Cream (Can substitute with lighter cream)
- 1/4 cup All-Purpose Flour (Gluten-free alternatives work)
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt (Enhances sweetness)
- 1 cup Whipped Cream (For serving)
- 1 cup Fresh Berries (For serving)
- 1/2 cup Caramel Sauce (For drizzling on top)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper, allowing some paper to hang over the edges for easy removal later.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the granulated sugar and mix until well combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Slowly pour in the heavy cream while continuing to mix until the batter is smooth.
- Sift in the all-purpose flour and salt, mixing until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is deeply browned and a bit cracked.
- Once done, let it cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible.
- Before serving, run a knife around the edges and lift the cheesecake out using the parchment paper.
Notes
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for best results. Don’t skip the cooling step to enhance flavor and texture.
