Description
This simple yet decadent loaf pan Basque cheesecake is a creamy, slightly burnt treat that’s as easy to make as it is delicious. A must-try for anyone looking for a no-fuss dessert that impresses.
Ingredients
500g cream cheese, softened
200g granulated sugar
4 large eggs
250ml heavy cream
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the heavy cream, flour, vanilla extract, and salt until fully combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 50 minutes, or until the top is deeply browned and the center is slightly jiggly.
- Allow the cheesecake to cool in the pan before removing and slicing. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
Notes
- For flavor variations, you can add lemon zest or a swirl of melted chocolate.
- If you prefer, you can experiment with mascarpone cheese instead of cream cheese for a different flavor.
- The cheesecake can be stored in the fridge for up to a few days. Let it come to room temperature before serving or serve chilled.
- The cheesecake is more flavorful the day after it’s made, so chilling it overnight is recommended.
