Delicious Basque Burnt Cheesecake Recipe

In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese and granulated sugar. Beat them together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. This will help incorporate air into your batter, leading to a fluffy cheesecake.

Next, pour in the heavy cream and mix until well combined. Finally, add the all-purpose flour and mix until the batter is smooth, ensuring there are no lumps.

Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius (400 degrees Fahrenheit). Prepare a round cake pan by lining it with parchment paper, making sure the paper extends above the edges of the pan.

This will help create that desired caramelized top and also makes removing the cheesecake easier once baked.

Pour the cheesecake mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30 to 40 minutes.

The top should achieve a beautiful deep brown, while the center remains slightly wobbly. Remember, it will continue to set as it cools down.

Allow the cheesecake to cool in the pan for at least 1 hour, then carefully remove it from the pan using the parchment paper.

Transfer it to a platter and, if desired, dust the top with powdered sugar for an elegant finish. Serve chilled or at room temperature and enjoy this delicious treat!
