Basque Burnt Cheesecake Recipe | Creamy and gooey easy cheesecake

A simple cheesecake that is the opposite of what you would imagine the perfect cheesecake to be.

Overly dark on the top, no biscuit or sponge base, and without the use of a water bath in the baking process. It's as simple as a cheesecake could get.

I had a small obsession with this cake ever since I laid eyes on it. Visually it stole my heart, and although I have never tasted the original slice of this cake from Basque, I have tried my best to recreate what I imagine it to be and this is my take on that cake.

Thank you for watching!

In a separate jug mix flour and 270 cream in parts to prevent clumps, mix with hand whisk until smooth
Add this to the mixture whilst whisk is on mix until smooth

Add mixture in to tin and tap the tin to get rid of air bubbles

I just made this cake, and here are some tips:
- the cake was too sweet for my Asian palate lol, maybe add 60-80 grams of sugar instead of 120g
- i made the fatal mistake of taking the cake out of the mould and cutting it ~20 min after it has been cooked. DO NOT do this! The gooey interior will spill out of the cake! I recommend putting it in the fridge for at least two hours before cutting and eating it
- I believe it’s a bit undercooked - I did mine for 35 min as the recipe said, but it felt too runny and raw. Try out 50 min in the oven (depending on ur oven)
- I don’t think the cake came out as smooth as it should be. Try sifting the mixture (like what’s done in the other YouTube videos)!

I am new to baking. Made this for a friend’s birthday and it vanished within 10 mins. It is deceptively easy to make. I did make a few changes -

1. Added less sugar (90g) to it. The sweetness level was perfect. Otherwise it would have been too sweet for us.

2. Did not have cake flour, so substituted normal flour with cornflour. Worked out well

Good luck baking! (And thank you for this tutorial)

I've baked using this recipe twice and it is perfection! some might not like how gooey it looks in this video, but actually, if you keep it in the fridge for a while it'll be more solid and still very creamy. Everyone loves this and I'm going to bake it again. Thank you for the recipe :)

I just made this and turned out so good ! Smooth, firm and creamy. =)
Thanks for the recipe ! Personal preference: reduced sugar to 70-80g and put more lemon/vanilla essence. I baked it for 50 mins as my oven was small.

This is the cheesecake I have been looking for for many years. It is very difficult to have only one slice. The texture is soft, creamy, and the taste is delicious.
Thank you. It is so easy to make, too.

i followed this to the T, except for the 120 g sugar and changed it to 90g to lessen the sweetness and sieved the batter before baking. It turned out great! it even had that slight molten part in the middle!

Thank you for imparting your knowledge to us

Just tried this recipe today and it turned out AMAZING. I couldn’t believe my burnt cheesecake was a success with my very first try! Baked it for 35 minutes and it came out jiggly, the cake will “deflate” as you let it rest (I rested mine for 3 hours). The insides were just PERFECT! Just slightly gooey and so creamy. I would suggest adding more lemon juice if you like the lemon flavor in your cheesecakes as I couldn’t taste lemon in mine at all. Thank you for this recipe!

This cake has to be creamy inside. Anyone who dont like it get yourself a nyc cheesecake and stfu.

This is by far the best basque cheesecake recipe I’ve made! First time it came out with the nice dark brown color and is creamy and soft inside. It also has a nice caramelized cheesy flavor as opposed to many others on the sour side. Will use this as a base recipe to try other variations of burnt cheesecake! Thanks!

When I tell you I got shivers when the fork went through the cheesecake first time. I need this in my life

[leonardogrillo]

I tried this recipe yesterday....it was incredible! Such balanced taste and amazing texture. I would suggest placing the cake in the fridge after it has cooled down, it will firm up more while still retaining the incredible creaminess inside. What a

This cheesecake is in every cafe in Turkey and we call it San Sebastian cheesecake. It’s very popular here.

Looks like cheesecake and creme brûlée had a baby and made this

[ldawg]

Made this a few times back in spring 2022.. I’ve made dozens of different types/Varieties of cheesecakes and this is by far one of, if not the best! Been trying to remember where I got this recipe for a while now. Making sure to save it to my recipes folder this time, and the actual written recipe bookmarked! Definitely making this again this weekend!

I made this cheescake today, although I made so many mistakes such as baking in too long with low and then high temperature, it turned out great and delicious and yes ... with very nicely gooey in the center. Love it . ❤❤😊✔️👍🙏

[mariaelenahormaza]

I just made this burnt cheesecake, it came out fantastic, the flavor is unbelievable, this cheesecake melts in your mouth. The best cheesecake ever and easy to make. Better that New York cheesecake and better than Juniors Brooklyn New York cheesecake. I will be making it many times for my family and friends. Thank you for this recipe
