Basque Cheesecake

An easy-to-make Spanish-style cheesecake!

I've been looking for some new dessert recipes for the coming fall and holiday season. I was very happy to find the Basque Cheesecake recipe!

Basque Cheesecake was originally created by La Vina Bar in San Sebastian, Spain and designed to be foolproof. Unlike American-style cheesecake, this cheesecake is baked without a crust and at a high temperature. This results in the outer-layer caramelizing while the center stays very light and creamy.

I love that we can serve this cheesecake at either room temperature for a fluffy texture or chilled for a denser texture.

The recipe for Basque Cheesecake is very easy to make, and yields 10 servings with a prep time of 10 minutes and a total time of 1 hour and 20 minutes. If anyone is interested in checking out the instructions, please click on the image up above.
