Has Anyone Made A Basque (Burnt) Cheesecake?

CrazyKittyLvr2 — Thu, 30 Jan 2020 17:02:05 GMT

I saw Laura Vitale make this a couple days ago. It's on her website. I had never heard of it. I've made tons of cheesecakes over the years but not this.

There is no crust and it's baked at 425 degrees, no water bath. The top gets very carmalized (hence the burnt part) and she said a room temp it's a cross between a custard/flan/cheesecake and cold it's the creamiest cheesecake ever.

It is not the prettiest cheesecake but it sounds great.

Last night DD, the non-cook, said "we have to make that this weekend." lol She hates to cook but even she can do this.

Has anyone ever made one?

@CrazyKittyLvr2 I have not made one, but I am now intrigued. I'm going to look this up and perhaps make it for a Super Bowl party.

@Misplaced Parisian The Laura Vitale recipe is just the usual suspects, 4 bricks of cream cheese, eggs, sugar, vanilla, salt, and a lot of heavy cream (not whipping cream).

A small amount of flour.

It's very liquidity, lol.

I have a 9" springform, but she used a 10". I am getting the larger pan, don't want to mess it up guessing how long to bake it in smaller pan. She sprayed pan and overlapped parchment paper in the pan and sprayed again to prevent sticking.

@CrazyKittyLvr2 Thank You! I need to measure my pan, but I think I have the size she used. I'm definitely making this for the party. I will totally give you credit for the idea. You'll be feted in the middle of Iowa on Sunday during the Super Bowl. Giggles. My friends are going to squeal over this.

@Misplaced Parisian Gosh, I hope it lives up to what I read. Give the credit to Laura Vitale. Her site is Laura In The Kitchen. I just stumbled across it.

She has videoes for all of her recipes. Sometimes at night I check out her recipes and watch the videoes.

@KingstonsMom Thank you, thank you for posting the photo and link to the recipe. I didn't know how to do it.

Like I said, it's not the prettiest cheesecake but it looks wonderful when she cuts it.

She has some recipes DD and I want to try.

@CrazyKittyLvr2

You're welcome and thank you for your OP!

I'm still looking at the recipes on her site and so far there are several I want to try too.

Right now, the Pecan Pie Brownies have caught my eye, LOL!

@KingstonsMom She briefly had a show on one of the food channels. That's where I first saw her. From what I've read she and her husband built a kitchen in the basement of their home and she does her videoes there and is on You Tube.

Oh, I wish I had never seen that. My husband is such a sick diabetic. My son, the best cheesecake cook, since New York and Phily, is on that stupid keto diet. He makes the greatest cheesecakes. I wish he were not on that stupid diet, getting on my nerves since I saw that cheesecake. Oh, how sumptuous.

@KingstonsMom If I could shove a slice down the computer wires to you, I'd do so. Giggles. I need to go check out the website because me thinks there will be more yummy recipes there.

I will have to share this with others. It makes a big cheesecake and neither DD or I need a whole one around. My son is trying to lose weight so I won't even tempt him.

Y’all made me so hungry...

Got my grocery list revised and just gotta try it out.

Re: Has Anyone Made A Basque (Burnt) Cheesecake?

Misplaced Parisian — Thu, 30 Jan 2020 19:59:31 GMT

I'll be making two...this Basque one and then one I can eat.

Also, Laura's website has an excellent sounding Thai curry meatballs. I'm going to make those with TVP and take them as well. Thanks for turning me on to this website, @CrazyKittyLvr2 , @KingstonsMom !

I follow Sweet Paul Magazine on Facebook and he recently shared a recipe for one.

The top of his is so dark it looks like chocolate.

It looks so good, not a lot of ingredients either.

@Misplaced Parisian You are most welcome.

I want to try her Shrimp Oreganata. 7 ingredents and that includes olive oil and S&P. My kind of recipe.

@CrazyKittyLvr2 That sounds delicious. Wish I could eat it. Have some for me please! Sometimes the best recipes have the simplest ingredients.
