Considered one of the best cheesecakes in the world by the New York Times, let's discover the Basque Cheesecake together! This super fondant cake was born in San Sebastian in Spain, from where it takes its name. In addition to being very easy to make since there is no biscuit base like other cheesecakes, it is light and soft... Like the feeling of biting into a cloud!
