Slice of Basque Cheesecake

To start off, let’s have a look at the final product – a scrumptious Spanish Basque cheesecake that’s perfect for any celebration or a simple sweet craving.

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to create this heavenly cheesecake:

2 cups of cream cheese, softened
1 cup of granulated sugar
1 cup of heavy cream
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
3 large eggs
1/4 cup of all-purpose flour
Pinch of salt

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to make your very own Basque cheesecake:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper, letting it hang over the edges for easy removal later.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy.
Add in the heavy cream and vanilla extract, mixing until completely combined.
One at a time, incorporate the eggs into the mixture, ensuring each one is well blended before adding the next.
Gently fold in the all-purpose flour and pinch of salt until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan and smooth out the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the top is dark brown and the center is slightly jiggly.
Once baked, turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for another hour to cool gradually.
Remove from the oven, allowing it to cool completely on a wire rack before transferring to the refrigerator.
Chill for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving to achieve the best texture.

Once fully chilled, slice up your Basque cheesecake and enjoy the perfect blend of flavors and that creamy texture that makes this dessert truly irresistible. Share it with friends and family, or keep it all to yourself – we won’t judge!
