The ULTIMATE San Sebastian Cheesecake Recipe with Chocolate Sauce | Burnt basque cheesecake

The San Sebastian cheesecake, also known as Basque burnt cheesecake, is a rich and creamy dessert with a perfectly caramelized exterior. Originating from San Sebastián in the Basque region of Spain, this unique cheesecake is baked at a high temperature, resulting in a beautifully charred and slightly cracked top. Its interior is irresistibly smooth, velvety, and custard-like, perfectly balancing sweetness and a hint of tanginess from the cream cheese. With no crust to distract from its pure flavors, this cheesecake is a rustic yet elegant treat that melts in your mouth with every bite.
