Basque Burnt Cheesecake (Cheesecake ala Basque)

Posted on by mariahseptantri

I have seen lots of feeds about this cheesecake on my social media, this cake looks rustic and “interesting”. One thing caught my mind instantly is : I have got to try this.This kind of cheesecake does not have a crust, similar to Japanese style Cheesecake.

I found this recipe in my Facebook feeds, the recipe is easy to follow and looks like a foolproof recipe. So I decided to execute this one for my husband’s birthday.

Ingredients:

  • 678 grams cream cheese; room temperature
  • 226 grams mascarpone cheese; room temperature
  • 320 grams granulated sugars
  • 6 whole eggs
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 415 milliliters heavy cream
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extracts
  • 52 grams all purpose flour

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400 Fahreinheit
  2. Butter the bottom of springform pan cheesecake with butter. Crumble the parchment paper, line the springform pan cheesecake with parchment paper. Let it overhang the pan. Double the parchment paper on the pan
  3. Whip the cream cheese with electric mixer on low speed until well incorporated
  4. Add mascarpone cheese to the cream cheese mixture, whisk it on medium speed
  5. Add sugar gradually. Whisk the mixture with medium speed
  6. Scrape the side of bowl, make sure all it’s blended well
  7. Add whole eggs, one at a time
  8. Additionally egg yolk, continue mixing
  9. Add heavy cream
  10. Add vanilla extract
  11. Add salt to flour, sift the flour to the mixture
  12. Pour the mixture to the pan. Bake for 60 minutes. I am using gas oven, taking about 75 minutes. Check your oven. If you see the top of the cheesecake is already dark brown you can turn off the oven. Take it out from oven.The middle of the cake is still slightly jiggly. Put it the cooling rack. When it’s slightly cool, you can unlock the pan. Peel off the parchment paper when it’s completely cool. I only peeled the parchment on the side, I put the cheesecake in the fridge, I prefer to eat after it’s chilled

I love this cheesecake, has a lighter texture that New York style cheesecake, closer to Japanese Cheesecake. It has the right sweetness for me. I made this for my husband’s birthday. My husband and daughter love this one. Yeay, I nailed !!!

Give it a try, you might like it.
