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.

FAQs

Why is my Basque burnt cheesecake not smooth? ›

The texture of your burnt basque cheesecake is reliant on the overall bake time. Using room temperature ingredients gives you optimal control over the baking. If you use fridge cold ingredients the batter will be colder and will have to bake for longer making it harder to get the perfect texture.

What is the difference between New York style cheesecake and Basque burnt cheesecake? ›

It's main difference from a New York Style Cheesecake is that it is crustless, and has a golden, beautiful caramelized exterior. It also has a much lighter texture and flavor. The cheesecake is baked at a high temperature in order to get that burnt exterior and super creamy interior.

Why does my Basque cheesecake taste eggy? ›

Classic New York cheesecake is smooth and dense, whereas Burnt Basque Cheesecake is baked at a very high temperature resulting in a caramelized top with a rich and custardy interior. Why does my Basque Cheesecake taste eggy? The cheesecake will become eggy and dense if baked too long or too many eggs are used.

Why is my burnt cheesecake watery? ›

If your cheesecake is liquid-y/runny custard in the center, after it's been chilled then it needed a few more minutes in the oven. If it is grainy/curdled and releases a lot of liquid after it's been chilled, then the oven was either too hot, the cheesecake was over-baked or both.

What temperature do you bake burnt Basque cheesecake? ›

To achieve the perfect balance between the deeply browned top and creamy center, we chill the batter after mixing, and sprinkle the top with sugar right before the cake goes into a 400-degree oven.

What is the difference between Japanese cheesecake and Basque cheesecake? ›

Basque cheesecake: This is a crustless cheesecake, just like a Japanese one, but it has a burnt top layer that adds a distinctive caramel note. The cheesecake, which has the usual suspects like eggs, cream cheese, sugar, vanilla essence, is intentionally left in the oven for the top layer to scorch.
