How To Make The Perfect Basque Cheesecake

This basque cheese cake is creamy, rich and crustless. It tastes amazing in room temperature, but when it is a bit chilled the taste and texture bring it to another whole level. Is going to be one of my top favourite cheesecake from now on.

Is going to be one of my top favourite cheesecake from now on. Try it and tell me what you think. You prefer it chilled or room temperature?

Mike u r correct. I baked it yesterday n I have tried both version. Both taste different indeed. But I prefer it 2 be chilled. Room temperature is just as yummy. My family prefers the normal temp. Overall, both are just as good. Tq 4 ur recipe.

[@Onedin012]

❤️❤️❤️ My favorite!! 🥰🥰🥰👏👏👏👏👏

[@foodogslove2588]

I am not a cheesecake fan as most of the recipes use digestive biscuits or graham crackers, mixed with butter for the base, which I dislike, however this Basque cheesecake looks absolutely amazing. Thanks Michael… just superb! 👍😊

[@miskyloo887]

If you ever need to make a cheesecake that has a base of graham crackers and butter (usually a no bake cheesecake) try this tip.. After lining the base of tin with the crumbs and firmly compressing it, bake it until firm, cool and then add the filling and chill.. Gives a nice crunchy base..

I have always wanted to make a basque cheesecake but haven’t had the courage because all my cheesecakes have cracked in the past. I’d like to try this out, thank you 😊

[@myhandlehasbeenmishandled]

Angie, as long as they taste great they can crack all they want. You got this.

[@michaellim]

Ann Chovy, For me, this cheese cake taste incredibly amazing with starch and flour, so I guess is just personal taste. Every cheesecake is created for it's own purpose and taste. That is the reason why they even give it a name. Bake this basque 'burnt' cheese cake needs to be on hight temperature to achieve the burnt effect. So don't comment on how cheesecake should be and shouldn't be, and classified it the why you do. Let's leave it as personal preference. The world in evolving and you gonna hear there is more and more new cheesecake recipes in the future. How they build houses these days doesn't mean it has to be built like decades ago.

This morning when I visited a friend, she was just starting to bake. I asked her what she'd making and she replied, "八十克" (80 grams) which left me astounded for 2 seconds. Then she explained Basque - burnt cheese cake! 🤣🤣 And now you post this recipe. I think something is telling me to bake it! Must find time!

Hi micheal thanks a lot for sharing video and recipe. Can l use heavycream instead of whipping cream ?

[@michaellim]

Heavy cream, double cream or whipping they are all the same depending on the country. As long the cream contain 40% fat or more, you are good to go.

[@sanaaalfalahi5380]

Wow🌸🌸🌸🌸

Ok I actually tried about 12 am. Mine was like the ugliest thing I ever made, but it didn't take away from the taste. 😆 It was great. Thanks Chef Lim for the midnight snack 😋 😜

Hi Michael, Thank you for sharing all your wonderful recipe. As you I live in Belgium too. Can you tell witch brand of cream cheese and whip cream do you use? Because I don’t know where to find cream cheese in Belgium 😅 Thank you

[@michaellim]

You can find Philadelphia cream cheese in every supermarket in Belgium. There are some other brands too besides Philadelphia. Even Lidl sell Philadelphia cream cheese. The Dutch word is “room kas”. 😊

[@bonasab]

Thanks for the recipe. I did exactly the same but it becomes little hard

[@jennifermckenzie14]

Hey Muchael the basque cheesecake looks delish they shld make a camera to taste and smell lol. At what temp.did you bake it and for how long? Thank you it always lo9ks so easy when you do it and can you put a topping on it to serve like dolce de leche or whipped cream thanks. I live in Trinidad and we love cheesecake be safe and be happy

[@michaellim]

Thank you so much for your kind comment! For the Basque cheesecake, I typically bake it at a high temperature of around 200°C for 40 minutes. However, oven temperatures may vary, so it's always a good idea to keep an eye on it and adjust the baking time if needed. You can definitely add a topping to your Basque cheesecake to enhance its flavors. Dolce de leche or whipped cream would be fantastic choices to serve alongside. The creamy sweetness of dolce de leche or the lightness of whipped cream can complement the rich flavors of the cheesecake. Feel free to get creative with your toppings and enjoy!

[@lucymulianto5206]

Hi Michael… it seems nothing complicated/hard in the making process. I think I will give it a try😄 Ingredients mixed just untill all blended right? No specific timing isn’t it? Bake using bottom and top heating, am I right?

[@michaellim]

That is correct.

[@maryargueta5607]

AWESOME 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 I have a question, did you bake it with the bottom sheet having water or not. Please advice and thanks a million🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 Hope you are still feeling good 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

This cheese cake is baked without water bath.

[@rosetoston7502]

Hi i live in Netherlands, what whipping cream do you use exactly? Thanks

[@michaellim]

www.collectandgo.be/colruyt/nl/assortiment/inex-slagroom-40vg-brik-20cl Preferably use any cream that contains 40% fat, and you're good to go. Otherwise, cream with a 35% fat content is also suitable.

[@Bibi-li3wx]

Michael por favor traductor para hacer bien tus recetas gracias.

[@michaellim]

Will do.

[@tereslee2708]

Mike, instead of using AP flour, can I change it 2 Cake flour? Will the result be the same? Shall be waiting 4 your adv.

[@michaellim]

For this recipe, you can replace the all purpose flour with cake flour.

[@pansytan5454]

Hi chef, if reducing sugar by 20% will it change the texture of the cake?

[@michaellim]

It should be fine, if you don’t like sweet. But don’t expect your finished product will look the same as mine in this video.

[@WalkITP]

Unfortunately to my increasing frustration I don't manage to get a good result. My batter does not become thick enough, and my cake does not rise enough either. The moment I add the eggs the batter becomes very runny. How long do you have to use the handmixer after the eggs are in the batter.

[@johngirvan4437]

What type of sugar is used

[@user-go6ij5sq5o]

May I ask what’s the temp and for how long this was baked? TYSM 🙏🏻

It is clearly stated in the video. You might have missed it.

Hi ! Micheal can you learn me tres leches cake ?

[@michaellim]

Will try, when I found a reliable recipe.

[@luckyliana208]

Can i use vinegar if i don't have lemon juice ?

[@michaellim]

Lemon juice in Basque cheese cake is used primarily for flavoring and to add acidity to the batter. While vinegar can be a substitute for lemon juice in terms of adding acidity to the cake, it may not provide the same flavor as lemon juice. Lemon juice has a unique citrusy flavor that adds a bright and fresh taste to the cake, whereas vinegar can have a more pungent and sour taste. If you don't have lemon juice and still want to make Basque cheese cake, you could consider using other citrus juices as a substitute, such as lime or orange juice, which could provide a similar flavor profile to lemon juice. Alternatively, you could skip the lemon juice altogether and still make a delicious Basque cheese cake. While the lemon juice does add a certain flavor, it is not a crucial ingredient in the recipe and the cake will still turn out well without it.

Oh, great. Basque Country, cradle of ancient warriors and knights. They are less likely to be immigrated by Portuguese and Mooro people, so they have light skin, red lips, high noses, deep eyes, and look more elegant than other autonomous regions of Spain. Especially, they are a people with a martial spirit and a princely spirit. Typically, A.Bilbao club never buys players originating outside the Basque country. Real Sosiedas as well as 1 opposing team in each Spanish city are royally sponsored vassals. The architecture, the landscape of the Basque Country and the Basques people are so beautiful.
