Basque burnt cheesecake gone viral on social media. It's trending in Facebook,Twitter and Pintrest. Being exposed to this lovely bake, my hands are itchy to give it a try. Since i have everything needed to bake this golden black beauty i baked them for our family afternoon tea. Keeping fingers crossed i bravely made and attempt and wallah! The outcome are simply awesome. The well burnt exterior and jiggly interior are match made in heaven. The cake reminds me of creme brulee with a slightly bitter taste of burnt sugar and creamy custard. Yes! That's how close i could discribe the taste.
The custard are rich,smooth and decadent which compliment the slightly bitter burnt top. Cool the cake completely before slicing for the custard to set. You may set them in fridge for the perfect slice. Use a sharp knife dipped in hot water to get a perfect cut.
