Hello, everyone! I've been sharing some complicated desserts lately, so today, I'm back with a simple but still very delicious Basque cheesecake. I'm also planning to make one more Christmas dessert and hopefully post it next week. This video feels like a little break for me 😝 (Editing didn’t take long, so I feel less stressed, haha).
Basque cheesecake originated in the 1990s at La Viña in San Sebastián, Spain. It's loved for its burnt top and creamy interior. I experimented with many recipes to develop my own and discovered a few key tips:
📍 To achieve a creamy cheesecake with a burnt exterior in a short time, a convection oven with a fan is essential.
📍 Use fresh ingredients like fresh lemon juice and high-quality cream cheese.
📍 Ensure there are no lumps in the cream cheese mixture.
📍 Some recipes use cornstarch or flour, but after testing both with and without, I found that leaving them out makes the cheesecake creamier.
📍 Recipes with cornstarch or flour might hold their shape better and be slightly easier to handle. It's all about personal preference!
