This is the recipe I followed. It's so easy - just mix 5 basic ingredients together and bake. Mine is much taller than the recipe though, so to do this but not overcook any part of the inside, you can cook at the temperature in the recipe for the specified time, then lower the temperature considerably and cook it at that temperature for a further 30 mins to 1 hour. The consistency came super creamy throughout. Recipe link is not my own, just a good one I found online.

Didn’t even have time to take a picture everyone dug in

haha indeed. this was the leftover. I ate it all as a 3am snack. food coma the next morning

I feel both hungry and full just looking at this.

Was it as great as it looks?

So good. I threw on some lemon curd on each slice in case i wasn't eating enough calories

Looks like half a cheese wheel and creme brulee

Thicc

I'm from Spain and I've never heard of a Basque cheesecake, it looks like a normal cheesecake to me. What's different about it?

(also kudos, it looks amazing)

My body is a temple

Es un invento reciente de un cocinero vasco. Está crudita por dentro y quemada por fuera.

The difference I tasted was that this variation of cheesecake is a lot creamier than other types I've tried. I believe this is because it's normally cooked at a temperature that is a lot higher than a normal cheesecake, therefore nearly burning the outside while the center remains less cooked

Never imagined making a cheesecake in an air frier, that would be convenient! About the tweaks, I added vanilla myself. I think this cheesecake is a really good blank slate to do whatever you want with it. I imagine you could put it on a biscuit base if that's your thing, for example

My favorite follow-up to this line is "it's made to accept sacrifices."

Air fryer cheesecake? I wantttt. How would you make it?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I believe it was created by the chef at la vina in San Sebastian. The cake has heavy cream as well as cream cheese so it has a lighter, smooth, custardy texture.

Put some details in my comment above this. Worth a try for sure.

It was auto-deleted since you put a link in it, probably. Sadge.

There's no biscuit base like most cheesecakes. I've made one before and it is still one of the best things I've ever made.

Oh yeah? Still can see it on my end. Pm me if you want a link though

No sé si diría que es reciente. La tarta de queso de La Viña lleva años ya siendo famosa. Es una receta moderna, pero no la llamaría reciente.

Who the fuck cares? I'd say enjoy.

I'm gonna make this, thabks for sharing!

No mi importa.

No Problem, enjoy :)

Loads of countries have their own versions of cheesecake so it's hard to say what a "normal" cheesecake is.

> lower the temperature considerably and cook it at that temperature for a further 30 mins to 1 hour.

I've found just turning the oven off and letting it sit in there for an hour works really well

Best meal of my life there on my honeymoon, cannot recommend highly enough.

Yummy yummy !!!

sounds like a good idea too

pretty much the same recipe I use, and I love it

it's also called a burnt cheesecake, because of the browning on top. basically just a simple baked cheesecake that doesn't require a water bath

That looks delicious and I also love your glassware!

Which I'm all for

No crust. It's baked hot to caremelize the outside. They tend to rise and then collapse in the middle

Thanks! Ikea sends its regards :)

It's originally from La Vina in San Sebastian, but now a bunch of the pintxo bars have it. I had it at La Vina and a couple of other places when we visited Spain earlier this year. But honestly, the ones I've made at home (I use the Bon Appetit recipe) are better than theirs. It's super creamy and the burnt/carmelized outside is basically a savory crust. I don't generally go for cheesecake but this one is special.

What's the texture like? I like my cheesecake so dense you need a paint scraper to get it off the roof of your mouth.

You're in luck, this cheesecake created a black hole in my apartment

That is so fucking sexy...

I want to try it!

I might need to figure out how to make this

Looks great. My daughter makes a great one, and it's always requested at family holidays. Hers looks identical to the one in the recipe you linked.

This looks like Mexican flan. Is that a good comparison to what this is like?

I don’t even like cheesecake normally, but burnt Basque cheesecake absolutely rocks my world - thanks for sharing the recipe, I’ll be trying this for sure!

you're welcome! enjoy

I've never tried a mexican flan, though from what i can see on google, the flan's texture looks more like gelatin compared to this, which is much creamier

You can't go wrong with this, your daughter chose a good dessert to master :)

highly recommended :)

Do it, life is once, cheesecake is forever

Flan is less a gelatin and more of a custard. I’ll try your recipe tho! I got a work dinner I’m preparing something for.

Maybe the mexican one is more like panna cotta then? Go for it but be prepared with a desired salary range for your inevitable promotion

I made it for my food truck, everyone loved it!

Looks so good! Cheese cake is the best cake. Period. I think I've tried that kind a couple of times (I'm from Spain) going to try and make it at home!

Eat pintxos till you can't move for lunch have a nap on the beach, wake up and do it again for dinner.

Was served this at a restaurant and for the life of me couldn’t understand what made this Basque haha. It’s just cheesecake w some burnt suhar

That looks so good

😍

🤤

It is crustless, has something to stabilize it a little more such as flour( or I use corn starch to keep gluten away) and is baked off at a higher temperature without a water bath. The final product is highly caramelized, looking burnt when done correctly, but picks up a roasted marshmallow flavor.
