Basque cheesecake, also known as “burnt” cheesecake, is a rich and creamy dessert that originated in San Sebastián, Spain. Unlike traditional cheesecakes, it has a deeply caramelized top and a soft, custardy center. It’s baked at a high temperature to create its signature cracked, rustic look and slightly burnt flavor that balances the sweetness. Simple, yet full of character!
