Ingredients

Scale

360g softened cream cheese
70g confectioners’ sugar
10g cornstarch
3 eggs
1 egg yolk
100g heavy cream


Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Cheesecake Batter
Start by softening the cream cheese. Ensure it is at room temperature for easy mixing.
In a large mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese and confectioners’ sugar. Beat until smooth and well-combined.
Add the cornstarch and continue beating until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the eggs and egg yolk, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Pour in the heavy cream and mix until you achieve a velvety, smooth batter.
Step 2: Preheat and Prepare
Preheat the oven to 428°F (220°C).
Line a loaf pan with parchment paper, ensuring it covers all sides for easy removal.
Step 3: Bake to Perfection
Pour the cheesecake batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake for approximately 28 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the edges are slightly caramelized.
Step 4: Cool and Set
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool at room temperature.
Once it has cooled, transfer it to the refrigerator to chill overnight, allowing the flavors to develop fully.
Step 5: Slice and Savor
The next day, slice the cheesecake and enjoy the creamy texture with its caramelized top.
Serve and indulge in the rich flavors of this classic Basque cheesecake.
