Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper, making sure to cover the sides as well.

  2. 2

    Mix the Cream Cheese

    In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the sugar and continue to mix until well combined.

  3. 3

    Add the Eggs

    Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure everything is well incorporated.

  4. 4

    Incorporate the Cream and Flavoring

    Add the heavy cream, vanilla extract, flour, and a pinch of salt to the batter. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

  5. 5

    Bake the Cheesecake

    Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the top is deeply browned and the center is still slightly jiggly.

  6. 6

    Cool and Serve

    Once baked, allow the cheesecake to cool in the pan for about 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving. Enjoy your Basque cheesecake chilled.
