Velvet Fire: The Creamy Basque Burnt Cheesecake with No Crust, No Fuss

ADVERTISEMENT

Introduction:
The Basque Burnt Cheesecake is a dessert that defies tradition — no crust, no water bath, and yet impossibly creamy with a signature burnt top that adds a rich, caramelized flavor. This rustic beauty from the Basque region of Spain has become a global sensation for good reason: it's easy to make, yet delivers the decadence of a five-star dessert.

Ingredients:
2 pounds (904g) cream cheese, softened

2 cups (400g) granulated sugar

1 tablespoon sugar (for dusting or caramel effect)

1 cup (240ml) heavy cream, room temperature

¼ cup (34g) all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

½ teaspoon kosher salt

5 large eggs, room temperature
