This burnt cheesecake recipe is an out-of-this-world delectable dessert! Creamy, fluffy, and simple cheesecake recipe to end a delicious weeknight meal!
This cheesecake is similar to the classic New York-style cheesecake with a press-in cookie crust. Inspired by a Basque cheesecake recipe, this cheesecake is expected to be just slightly burnt with cracks.
This cheesecake recipe can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Be sure to let the cheesecake sit for several hours at room temperature to remove the chill before serving. It’s best served at room temperature.
Want a few more ways to ensure your bake is successful? Always let the cream cheese soften. Softened cream cheese is creamier when mixed. Cold cream cheese will make the mixture lumpy, which affects the finished product. Another thing, just like any other cake recipe, do not over mix your batter. Over-mixing the batter will deflate the air bubbles and can cause the cake to rise too rapidly in the oven, then fall, then crack.
You can savor this decadent dessert with some sweet wines.
