Ingredients
  

For the Cheesecake Batter
  • 16 oz Full-Fat Cream Cheese Creates the rich, creamy texture crucial for cheesecake; low-fat substitutions may alter consistency.
  • 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar Provides essential sweetness; be sure to dissolve it in the mixture for a smoother batter.
  • 3 Eggs Vital for structure and richness; use large eggs at room temperature for optimal mixing.
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream Adds creaminess and enhances the overall texture; can be substituted with lighter cream, though richness may decrease.
  • 1/4 cup All-Purpose Flour Offers necessary structure to the cheesecake; gluten-free flour can be used for a gluten-free option.
  • 1/4 tsp Salt Balances flavors and enhances sweetness; use sparingly to avoid overpowering the dessert.

Equipment

  • 9x5 inch loaf pan
  • Electric Mixer
  • Spatula

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Indulgent Burnt Basque Cheesecake
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare your 9x5 inch loaf pan by greasing it and lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine full-fat cream cheese and granulated sugar, blending until smooth and creamy, about 2–3 minutes.
  3. Add large eggs to the cream cheese mixture one at a time, mixing well after each addition to maintain a creamy texture.
  4. Gently fold in heavy cream, all-purpose flour, and a pinch of salt until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly to avoid air pockets.
  6. Bake for approximately 45 minutes, watching for a deep golden-brown top with a slight jiggle in the center.
  7. Once baked, let your cheesecake cool at room temperature for about an hour before transferring it to the refrigerator.
