Master the art of the scorched and creamy Basque cheesecake
In short: Discover how to create a perfect Basque cheesecake from scratch. This video demonstrates Chef Santiago Rivera's recipe, featuring a technique for making your own cream cheese and achieving that signature burnt exterior.
The recipe, known by various names including tarta de queso La Vina and Burnished Cheesecake, relies on high-heat baking. By preheating an oven to 260ºC (500°F), you can achieve a dark brown top while maintaining a center that jiggles like liquid.
The process involves creaming cheese and sugar, adding eggs individually, and incorporating salt, flour, and 200 mL of 35% heavy cream. Once baked for 25-35 minutes, the cake requires at least 5 hours of refrigeration to develop its characteristic texture: soft and fluffy on the edges with a gooey center.
