This beautiful 6-inch matcha Basque cheesecake will have a caramelized top and a deliciously soft cheesecake interior. Taste it when it's still warm, or have it with a cup of tea or coffee after refrigerating the cake for at least four hours. The beauty of this crust-less cake is how asymmetric, burnt, imperfect it is. Your cake will be tall, and sure to delight your tastebuds!

Ingredients

• 2 bars of cream cheese (450g)
• 1/2 cup (104g) fine sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 2 tbsp (15g) cornstarch (skip if you want a less jelly-like cake)
• 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream (cow's milk works too. Coconut milk and soy milk also work!)
• 2 1/2 tbsp (20g) flour (any works, really. I used gluten-free flour Bob's Red Mill)
• 1 tbsp (7.38g) matcha powder (ceremonial is best, although more expensive) mixed with 3 tbsp water into a paste.
• Optional: 1 tbsp butter, a splash of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Optional fruits for topping, and powdered sugar.

Instructions

1. Preheat oven 240C or 460F. In a pot over low heat, place the cream cheese and optional butter. Stir and allow cheese to soften into a thick cream, with no clumps. Add the sugar and stir. Remove from heat when you have a smooth, creamy mixture. Add the eggs, one at a time, and mix well.
2. Add the flour and cornstarch and mix until smooth, mixing out any clumps. You will not have to strain this batter. Add the milk or cream. Mix well. You can at this point add a splash of vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Finally, add the matcha paste and stir well.
3. A 6-inch springform pan is best. Place a sheet of parchment paper inside the pan, running your fingers over the inside of the rim and the bottoms to dress the pan. Leaver about an inch or two of parchment paper standing tall. Crinkles are fine.
4. Pour the batter into the pan and it should fill almost to the top. Smooth out the batter on top with a whisk and bake for 30-35 minutes. The top should have a beautiful burnt brown layer, which is a Basque cheesecake's signature look. The middle should be jiggly. Don't worry, it's fully cooked. See how tall and jiggly mine is out of the oven? Cool in room temperature before refrigerating for at least 4 hours or overnight. Cut the cake and serve at room temperature. Great with a cup of coffee or tea!
