Basque Burnt Cheesecake – Easy Creamy Dessert

 This Basque Burnt Cheesecake is a delicious dessert with a beautifully caramelized top and a rich, creamy center. Unlike traditional cheesecake, it has no cookie crust and is baked at a high temperature for its signature golden-brown finish.

Ingredients

• 24 oz (680 g) cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 1½ cups heavy cream
• 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ¼ tsp salt

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a 9-inch springform pan with two overlapping sheets of parchment paper.
2. Beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing gently.
4. Mix in the heavy cream, vanilla, flour, and salt until smooth.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
6. Bake for 35–45 minutes, until the top is deeply browned and the center still jiggles.
7. Let cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours before slicing.

Baking Tips

Use room-temperature ingredients for a smooth texture. Don't worry if the top looks dark—that's what makes Basque cheesecake special!
