Burnt Basque Cheesecake is a baked, crustless cheesecake with a signature 'burnt' exterior. It has a similar flavor profile to creme caramel and vanilla cheesecake combined. The texture could be described as in between a traditional baked cheesecake and a flan.

This unique slightly burnt cheesecake originates from a restaurant called La Viña in San Sebastián in Basque region of Spain, that's where it gets its name Burnt Basque Cheesecake. Since then it has taken over the world to become one of the most well-loved cheesecakes, I guess there is something so charming about the burnt smoky top paired with a smooth and silky center.
