My Spanish Kitchen: Burnt Basque Cheesecake

Watch My Spanish Kitchen with Caroline J. Beck as she shares this recipe for a delicious Spanish dessert.


Basque cheesecake, made famous by La Viña restaurant in Northern Spain, is rich and creamy. Unlike American cheesecakes, this version is crustless and caramelized by baking at a much higher temperature.

Try Caroline’s spin on Basque cheesecake by miniaturizing these cakes, which only take about 12 minutes to bake. It’s a quick and easy dessert that is always a showstopper.
