Burnt Basque Cheesecake

Finally did this burnt basque cheesecake after waiting so long! Hub’s bday happen during this Circuit Breaker period. And unfortunately, most of the places selling cakes were unable to operate and thus I think baking my own is safest. 

Worse if it is so hard to get all the ingredients or groceries lately online. Q-ing isnt an option as it is always packed with long Qs. Only go every 2-3 days when we need to buy bread. Even online and NTUC ran out of whipping. Thank goodness I alway stock the basic flours and sugar so I decided to take the chance and went with replacing whipping cream with milk. 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Thankfully the texture turns out well. Being a noob, and haven tried a burnt cheesecake before, I didnt know it was meant to be wobbly and creamy for the cake texture. After baking for 30mins, cake was so wobbly that I continue to bake for another 20-30mins and even had to top bake to burnt the crust. Only after baking and keeping the cake did I find out from a friend that its supposed to be creamy on the inside, instead of a firm texture. So glad mine wasnt too far off even with the lack of whipped cream as well as overbaking it! ❤️

Happy birthday my dear hubby! May we grow old together still loving each other very much for as long as we are together! Thank for all the love and tolerance along this long road. Today marks the 14th year of our ROM anniversary too! I love you and will always do. Hope you love the dinner spread tonight! ❤️
