I Made The REAL Basque Cheesecake Like They Do In Spain

  • Burnt Basque cheesecake aka torta de queijo from La Viña in San Sebastian, Spain is a life-altering dessert. It’s burnt, jiggly and creamy on the inside as opposed to the firm, pale, crusted version of cheesecake that you might find in New York City. I was just in San Sebastian, Spain where I had the pleasure of trying basque cheesecake from the place where it was invented called La Viña. From what I've seen on the internet only a few people make this dessert the way it was served to me in Spain, so we're going to make it the right way. I hope you dig! 🤘🏼Adam

    INGREDIENTS:
    40oz Cream Cheese (5 packs, 1000g), room temperature
    1 cup Manchego Cheese, grated
    1 1/2 cups Sugar
    5 whole eggs, 2 yolks
    1 tsp Kosher Salt
    2 cups Heavy Cream
    1 tbsp All Purpose Flour
    TECHNIQUE:
    1. Preheat your oven to 475F (246c).
    2. In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream together the cream cheese, Manchego cheese, sugar and salt on low for 2 minutes. Push the mixture down the sides of the bowl.
    3. One by one, add the eggs and yolks waiting to add the next until each is stirred into the mixture fully.
    4. Add the cream and continue stirring on low for 2 more minutes. Add the flour and mix one minute more.
    5. Spray a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray then crinkle two sheets of parchment paper. Layer in the parchment paper so it covers the pan spraying between each layer than the top.
    6. Pour the cheesecake into the prepared springform pan then set it on a sheet tray.
    7. Bake the cheesecake for 30-40 minutes, until it jiggles like gentle waves.
    8. Remove the cheesecake and let it cool until you can hold it with bare hands. Transfer it to the fridge and chill for 6-8 hours, better yet overnight.
    9. Two hours before serving, remove the cheesecake from the fridge to allow it to come to room temperature. Slice two skinny pieces per serving and serve with coffee or Sherry.

    One tip I would add while making cheesecake it’s best practice to stop and scrape the sides of the bowl 2 times when adding the eggs and one time when adding the cream, this just makes sure that the mixture stuck on the sides gets fully incorporated with the new ingredients and the batter is extra smooth

    Great recipe. Some of the more touristy restaurants out in San Sebastian serve cheesecakes that are a bit too eggy and the texture is almost scrambled, presumably from overcooking - make sure you go to a proper bakery to get the good stuff! Your method definitely seems like the right way to nail the texture.

    Out of the dozen or so recipes I've seen, your's is one of the creamiest and the only one with another kind of cheese added.
    By the way, Glen (Glen and Friends) says the chef at La Vina freely gives away the recipe and there's even a video of him making it (as of 4 years ago). Glen does not use the other cheese, but did make his own cream cheese which is probably more tangy. His is also very creamy.

      The (supposedly) authentic recipe is easy to find online but not the video. Luckily, I was able to watch the video a couple of times before it disappeared. Just FYI: while the recipe does say 1 tablespoon of flour, in the video the recipe's "inventor" Santiago Rivera scoops out a huge heaping spoonful using an XL soup spoon. It looks more like a quarter cup, if not a third. Also, Rivera says they use a locally made cheese but wrote Philadelphia in the recipe because no one can get the local cheese. For what it's worth ... anyway, great video!

    I made it last night. I’ll serve it for desert after lunch today. Looks pretty good but I don’t know how it will come out because the internal temp crept up to 180 f from residual heat. Next time I’ll take it out at 145f internal temp. I used Romano cheese, golden syrup, brown, white, palm flower sugars and added some homemade vanilla.

    • @AdamWitt
      @AdamWitt  6 днів тому +1

      I would steer clear of cheddar or feta. Opt for something medium-hard and semi sharp (sheeps milk is preferred). As for the internal, the texture is varied so it's best to bake by look and feel for this one. COOK WITH YOUR HEART! (and some trial and error, lol).

    Not to be nitpicking but the ingredients for "REAL" basque cheesecake, especially for the LA VIÑA one, has no idiazabal and also manchego cheese is totally different type of cheese than idiazabal.., also, what makes the taste of it so different is actually Asturias heave cream, it has a very distinct taste and gives the cakes a very specific texture, that is why you can't fully replicate the recipe at home outside of Spain if you don't get yourself your hands on that cream. With all this said, it looks and probably taste good ! But not "REAL" cheesecake like they do in Spain.
