Bakeshop Like Add to a List
A far cry from the sugary wedges you might ordinarily picture when you think of cheesecake, Basque burnt cheesecake is inspired by the Spanish tarta de queso and offers a more sophisticated flavor profile, with a slightly bitter, burnished crust and a soft, creamy, jiggly interior merging for a crème brûlée-like effect. Esteemed baker Kim Boyce makes an exemplary version of the dessert at her bakery.
