This beautiful 6-inch pandan Basque burnt cheesecake will have a caramelized top and a deliciously soft and smooth 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, rustic and imperfect it is. Your cake will be tall and jiggly out of the oven, and sure to delight your tastebuds! Once you have a burnt Basque cheesecake, you'll know why it's so popular!

Ingredients

• 2 bars of cream cheese (450g)
• 1/2 cup (104g) fine sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 1 tbsp (7.5g) cornstarch (skip if you want a less jelly-like cake)
• 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream (cow's milk works too. Oat milk, coconut milk and soy milk also work, but the best is cow's milk for cheesecake.)
• 2 1/2 tbsp (20g) flour (any works, really. I used gluten-free flour Bob's Red Mill, but cake flour may be best
• 1 teaspoon pandan extract
• 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 425F. 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, set aside about a bowl of the batter and add the pandan extract and stir well.
3. If you have a good blender, alternatively you can blend all the ingredients together until you have a smooth cheesecake batter.
4. 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.
5. Pour the batter into the pan, about 1/4 of the way. Then pour in all of the pandan batter. Finally pour in the rest of the regard cheesecake batter; it should fill almost to the top. Smooth out the batter on top with a whisk and bake for 30-35 minutes. If the top is not burnt brown by minute 30, raise the temperature to 475F and bake for 5 more minutes.
6. 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!
