About Basque cheesecake

Basque Cheesecake, originating from the Basque region of Spain, is a creamy, rich dessert with a distinct burnt top and custard-like center. Unlike traditional cheesecakes, it’s crustless, baked at a high temperature to achieve its signature caramelized exterior. The primary ingredients include cream cheese, sugar, eggs, heavy cream, and a small amount of flour, resulting in a decadent texture and flavor. While indulgent, this cheesecake offers a source of calcium from the cream cheese and eggs, and its simplicity means fewer preservatives compared to store-bought options. However, it is high in saturated fats and sugar, making it a treat best enjoyed occasionally. Its unique, slightly smoky taste and combination of textures make it a standout choice for dessert enthusiasts seeking a memorable flavor experience.
