The Basque Classic Cheesecake, also known as "Basque Burnt Cheesecake," is an irresistible dessert that has become one of the most popular cheesecakes worldwide. With its creamy interior, golden caramelized exterior, and perfect balance of sweetness and a subtle tangy touch, it stands out as a truly unique treat.
At Helardy, we craft our Basque Cheesecake following the traditional recipe, using the finest ingredients and a special baking technique that creates its signature toasted top. If you're a cheese lover or enjoy smooth, melt-in-your-mouth desserts, this is the ultimate indulgence for you.
This iconic cheesecake originates from the Basque Country, specifically from La Viña restaurant in San Sebastián. It was created in the 1990s by chef Santiago Rivera, and since then, it has taken the culinary world by storm. Unlike traditional cheesecakes, this version has no cookie crust and is baked at a high temperature to achieve its signature caramelized top and lusciously creamy interior.
