Basque cheesecake, or "tarta de queso," is a type of cheesecake that originated in the Basque Country of Spain. It is a crustless cheesecake that is known for its burnt and caramelized exterior, creamy and custardy interior, and rich and tangy flavor. The cake is typically made from a mixture of cream cheese, heavy cream, sugar, and eggs, which is then baked at a high temperature until the top is deeply caramelized and the center is set but still jiggly. Basque cheesecake is a popular dessert in many countries around the world and is often served as a sweet treat or dessert for special occasions. It is a delicious and unique twist on the classic cheesecake that is sure to please any cheesecake lover.
