Description

This Indulgent Burnt Basque Cheesecake baked in a loaf pan delivers a rich, creamy texture with a caramelized top and slight jiggle in the center. Perfectly sweetened with a subtle salty hint, it’s served with whipped cream, fresh berries, and a drizzle of caramel sauce for a decadent dessert experience.

Ingredients

Scale

Cheesecake Batter

  • 16 oz Full-Fat Cream Cheese (Room temperature)
  • 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar (Dissolved in mixture)
  • 3 large Eggs (At room temperature)
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream (Can substitute with lighter cream)
  • 1/4 cup All-Purpose Flour (Gluten-free alternatives work)
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt (Enhances sweetness)

For Serving

  • 1 cup Whipped Cream
  • 1 cup Fresh Berries
  • 1/2 cup Caramel Sauce (For drizzling on top)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the cheesecake.
  2. Mix Cream Cheese and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, combine the room temperature cream cheese and granulated sugar, mixing until completely smooth and free of lumps.
  3. Add Eggs: Incorporate the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to create a uniform mixture.
  4. Fold in Cream, Flour, and Salt: Gently fold in the heavy cream, all-purpose flour, and salt until combined, taking care not to overmix.
  5. Prepare Loaf Pan: Grease and line a 9×5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy removal of the cheesecake.
  6. Pour Batter: Pour the cheesecake batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top to ensure even baking.
  7. Bake: Bake for 45 minutes at 400°F (200°C), until the top develops a golden brown caramelized appearance and the center still has a slight jiggle when gently shaken.
  8. Cool: Allow the cheesecake to cool to room temperature to set before transferring to the refrigerator.
  9. Chill: Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to achieve the perfect creamy texture.
  10. Serve: Serve chilled slices topped with whipped cream, fresh berries, and a drizzle of caramel sauce for an indulgent finish.

Notes

  • Room temperature ingredients help create a smoother batter and prevent lumps.
  • Using a loaf pan instead of a traditional springform pan gives the cheesecake a unique shape and presentation.
  • You can substitute heavy cream with lighter cream but it may slightly alter the richness.
  • Gluten-free flour can be used as a substitute for all-purpose flour to make this recipe gluten-free.
  • The slight jiggle in the center upon baking indicates perfect doneness and texture.
  • Chilling overnight enhances flavor development and texture.
