Basque burnt (on purpose) cheesecake

Written by Loredana Arion Published on June 28, 2021 in Cakes, Desserts

Eu nu sunt fan cheesecake. Desi e o reteta simpla si combinatiile sunt nenumarate, pentru orice gust, nu am simtit o provocare in a face cheesecake.

De ceva timp imi apar pe Instagram tot mai multe poze cu “burnt cheesecake” si recunosc ca ma atrage ideea de a arde intentionat o prajitura 😈 . Iar faptul ca nu are blat m-a convins sa-l fac (nu-mi place blatul de biscuiti).

Rezultatul a fost wow, peste asteptarile mele. Desi *le husband nu crede ca l-am ars intentionat 😀 , a recunoscut ca i-a placut mult (mai ales ca l-a combinat cu sos de caramel sarat, homemade evident 😉 ).

IngredientE

200g crema de branza Philadelphia
150ml smantana de gatit
100g zahar
3 oua de marime medie
25g faina
un varf de lingurita praf de copt
2 lingurite esenta vanilie

Instructiuni

Intr-un bol am mixat crema de branza cu zaharul pana cand zaharul s-a topit.
Am adaugat cate un ou pe rand si am mixat dupa fiecare ou pana s-a incorporat integral.
Am adaugat restul ingredientelor si am mixat foarte putin, pana cand compozitia s-a omogenizat.
Am tapetat o forma rotunda cu diametrul de 16cm cu hartie de copt si am turnat compozitia.
Am bagat tava in cuptorul preincalzit la 210°C timp de aproximativ 50 de minute. In ultimele 2 minute am schimbat functia cuptorului si am setat directia caldurii de sus, incat sa se formeze crusta “arsa”.
Cand a fost gata, am lasat sa se raceasca la temperatura camerei, apoi am bagat cheesecake-ul in frigider pentru cateva ore.

IngredientS

200g Philadelphia cream cheese
150ml heavy cream
100g sugar
3 medium size eggs
25g flour
1/4 tsp baking powder
2 tsp vanilla extract

Directions

Mix cream cheese and sugar in a bowl until the sugar has dissolved.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing each egg a few seconds before adding the next.
Add the rest of ingredients and mix until combined.
Prepare a pan of a 16cm diameter with parchment paper and pour the batter into the pan.
Bake for approximately 50 minutes in the preheated oven to 210°C. For the last 2 minutes, switch the heat of the oven from top to bottom to achieve that ‘burnt’ look.
When ready, take the pan out of the oven and let it cool. Place it into the fridge for a few hours before serving.

Enjoy!
