✨Basque Cheesecake — crustless cheesecake from San Sebastián in the Basque Country of Spain.
ONLY 8 SLICES📍LOCATION & PICK UP:
Saturday 7:30-12 | 901 IL Ave, Waterloo, IL
It’s famous for three things:
⭐ 1. Burnt, caramelized top
It’s baked at a very high temperature so the top becomes deeply browned (almost burnt-looking), giving it a caramelized flavor.
⭐ 2. Creamy, custardy center
Unlike New York cheesecake, which is dense and smooth, Basque cheesecake is light, creamy, and almost molten in the middle.
⭐ 3. No crust
It’s poured directly into a parchment-lined pan—super rustic and effortless.
