FAQs

1. Why is it called "Burnt" Basque Cheesecake?
The name comes from the way the top of the cheesecake is baked until it becomes dark and caramelized, giving it a unique and delicious flavor.

2. Can I use light cream instead of heavy cream?
Yes, you can substitute heavy cream with lighter cream. However, it may change the richness of the cheesecake slightly.

3. How do I know when the cheesecake is done baking?
The top should be deep caramelized, and the center will still have a slight jiggle. It will firm up as it cools.
