La Recette du Cheesecake Basque Brûlé au Yuzu

RECIPE FOR BASQUE BURNED CHEESECAKE WITH YUZU

The Basque burnt cheesecake with yuzu is THE pastry revelation that has been winning over the world since its invention in San Sebastián. Unlike classic cheesecakes, this one is distinguished by its deeply caramelized, almost burnt top crust, which wonderfully contrasts with an ultra-creamy and slightly wobbly center. The addition of yuzu, this refined Japanese citrus with notes of grapefruit-mandarin-lime, brings a sophisticated tartness that perfectly balances the richness of the cheese. Without a pastry base, without a water bath, without complications: this spectacular dessert is surprisingly simple to make. Once sliced, each piece reveals this unmatched melting texture — a taste journey between Spain and Japan.
