Considered one of the best cheesecakes in the world by the New York Times (quite something!), let’s discover Basque cheesecake together! This wonderfully creamy cake originated in San Sebastian, which is where it gets its name. As well as being very easy to make, since it has no biscuit base like other cheesecakes, it’s light on the palate, with a delicious hint of caramelization! Follow our step-by-step instructions below to make this recipe :-)
