RECIPE:
Classic Basque Burnt Cheesecake

Serves: 8-10 | Prep: 15 min | Bake: 40-45 min

Ingredients:
- 900g (4 blocks) cream cheese, room temperature
- 250g (1 cup + 2 tbsp) sugar
- 5 large eggs, room temperature
- 475ml (2 cups) heavy cream
- 30g (1/4 cup) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt

Steps:
1. Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F).
2. Line a 9-inch springform pan with two crisscrossed sheets of parchment paper. Let it wrinkle and stick up above the rim. No need to be neat.
3. Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth and lump-free.
4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing gently after each.
5. Pour in cream and vanilla. Sift in flour and salt. Mix until just combined.
6. Pour batter into the pan and tap lightly to release air bubbles.
7. Bake 40-45 minutes until the top is deep dark brown and the center still jiggles like jelly.
8. Cool completely in the pan at room temperature (the center will set as it cools).
9. Chill at least 4 hours, then slice and serve.

Pro Tips:
- Room-temperature ingredients give the smoothest, creamiest center.
- Don't open the oven door while baking.
- The dark top is the goal, not a mistake!

Burnt on top. Creamy in the middle. Zero crust. 😍🔥

This is the Basque Burnt Cheesecake (Tarta Vasca), born in San Sebastián, Spain. It's baked at high heat with no water bath, giving you a caramelized top and a soft, custard-like center that melts in your mouth. 🍰

Only a few simple ingredients and no fancy skills needed. If you can mix it, you can make it! 👩‍🍳

RECIPE:

Vanilla & White Chocolate Berry Chocolate Shell Dessert
(Serves 6 | Prep 30 min | Freeze 4-5 hrs)

Ingredients

Berry Jam Filling:
- 1 cup mixed berries (strawberry or raspberry)
- 3 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water

Vanilla White Chocolate Base:
- 150g white chocolate, chopped
- 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream, warmed
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup cold heavy cream, whipped to soft peaks

Chocolate Shell:
- 250g dark chocolate
- 1 tbsp coconut oil

Method
1. Berry jam: Cook berries, sugar, and lemon juice on medium heat for 5-6 minutes until soft. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook 1-2 minutes until thick and glossy. Cool completely.
2. White chocolate ganache: Pour the warm cream over the white chocolate. Wait 1 minute, then stir until smooth. Add the vanilla and let it cool to room temperature.
3. Fold the whipped cream gently into the cooled ganache until light and creamy.
4. Assemble: Fill silicone molds halfway with the vanilla cream. Add a spoon of berry jam in the center, then cover with more vanilla cream and smooth the top. Freeze 4-5 hours until firm.
5. Shell: Melt the dark chocolate with the coconut oil and let it cool slightly (it should be fluid but not hot).
6. Unmold the frozen dessert and place it on a rack. Pour or dip it in the chocolate so it is fully coated. The shell sets in seconds.
7. Serve right away. Tap the top with a spoon so it cracks and reveals the jam and cream inside. 🔊

Tip: A thicker shell (double dip after 1 minute) gives a louder, more satisfying crack.

That CRACK though 😍🍫 A thick dark chocolate shell hiding creamy vanilla white chocolate and a bright berry jam center. Layers of crunch, cream, and fruity goodness in every bite. Perfect for dessert lovers who want something that looks stunning and tastes even better. Would you try this? 👇

Ingredients
Apples:
- 3 large firm apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)

Batter:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tbsp sugar
- Pinch of salt
- 3/4 cup plant milk (almond, oat or soy)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract

Cinnamon sugar coating:
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1.5 tsp ground cinnamon

For frying:
- Neutral oil (about 2 cups)

Steps
1. Core the apples and slice into rings about 1/2 cm (1/4 inch) thick. Pat dry with a paper towel.
2. In a bowl, whisk flour, cornstarch, baking powder, cinnamon, sugar and salt.
3. Add plant milk and vanilla. Whisk to a smooth, thick batter that coats a spoon. If too thick, add a splash of milk.
4. Heat oil to 175°C (350°F).
5. Dip each apple ring into the batter and let the excess drip off.

Tips
- Dry apples = crispier batter.
- Don't overcrowd the pan, or the oil temperature drops.
- Coat in sugar while hot so it sticks.
