Ingredients
- 500 g cream cheese
- 150 g granulated erythritol
- 250 ml heavy cream
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 0.5 tsp salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 210°C (410°F).
Step 2
Line a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan with parchment paper, ensuring the sides are covered; this will prevent the cheesecake from sticking and allows easy removal.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and granulated erythritol together until smooth and creamy.
Step 4
Add the heavy cream gradually, continuing to beat the mixture until well combined.
Step 5
Incorporate the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
Step 6
Add the vanilla extract and salt, and mix until the ingredients are fully combined and the batter is smooth.
Step 7
Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 40 minutes, or until the top is dark brown and the center is slightly jiggly. The cheesecake will have a burnt appearance which is characteristic of a Basque cheesecake.
Step 9
Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool to room temperature in the pan before transferring to the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
Step 10
When ready to serve, carefully lift the cheesecake out of the pan using the parchment paper and slice into portions.
