The Burnt Beauty: Our Basque Cheesecakes

Basque Cheesecake is probably something you’ve seen taking over your social media feeds over the last few months, trending on Instagram with the hashtag #basquecheesecake now having over 191k posts. The Basque Cheesecake was invented in San Sebastian, Spain in the 1990s and is a deeply caramelised cousin of the classic NY Vanilla Cheesecake albeit without the crust. While only relying on a handful of basic ingredients, this “other” type of Cheesecake features deep, indulgent flavours of Vanilla and Caramel along with a deliciously creamy texture. This product will be sure to add a contemporary, more sophisticated twist to your Cheesecake category!

What Sets Basque Cheesecake Apart?

1. Burnt Exterior: The hallmark of a Basque cheesecake is its deeply caramelized, almost burnt top. This gives the cheesecake a unique flavor profile that balances sweetness with a hint of bitterness.
2. Creamy Interior: Despite its rustic appearance, the inside of a Basque cheesecake is incredibly creamy and smooth, almost custard-like in texture.
3. No Crust: Unlike New York-style cheesecakes, Basque cheesecakes are made without a crust, allowing the focus to remain on the rich, flavorful filling.
