The Easiest Way To Make Cheesecake (Basque Style)

So Basque cheesecake is basically burnt cheesecake...No really. This recipe comes from the restaurant in Spain that goes by the name of La Viña. Really it's an adapted iteration of their recipe that I found online. I don't know if I saw their actual recipe, but hey, it's pretty darn close. The best part is that it's so incredibly easy and quick to make unlike most cheesecakes.

This was the first cheesecake I had ever made and I didn't realize it

Made this yesterday, exactly per his recipe. It was amazing! Everyone loved it. Now my daughter in law asked me to make for her 30th birthday. (Note - couldn’t find the orange blossom water at a grocery store up here in the Georgia sticks. Got it online at Amazon. And yes, I could taste it slightly in the cheesecake. Also, it paired very nicely with 12 Year Wellers!).

I’m surprised Josh didn’t make his own cream cheese . 😭

Made this today. Didn't have the orange blossom but used a teaspoon of orange zest instead and it turned out great!

Hey josh, I tried this and after an hour and 10 minutes at 400 it never got really dark on top. Still came out well, just didn’t get that char. Do you know why that might have happened? FWIW, the only difference is I hand mixed.

Edit: just realized I forgot flour... entirely. I’ll let you know if it’s still any good.

Edit 2: still deliciously custardy, it needed to be chilled to really set well but this is a good cheesecake still. If anyone reads this, do include the flour, I think it would set more easily and you won’t get the “basque” char on top without it, which probably is compromising other flavors. This is more one note, traditional cheesecakey.
