It all started with a text from my friend Bibsy. "Have you ever made a basque cheesecake?" In fact, I had never and by pure coincidence I had recently saved this post from Instagram which just happened to be a Basque Cheesecake. What really drew me in was the burnt top crust. There was something about the dark amber color that looked so inviting and delicious. Bibsy's text was just the extra motivation I needed to make the cheesecake.
The recipe couldn't be simpler to make and doesn't have many ingredients since there's no crust to contend with. My first thought when taking a whiff of the baked cheesecake was that it smelled like crème brûlée. And there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.
