Burnt Basque Cheesecake In A Loaf Pan

  • Author: Jonathan
  • Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes
  • Yield: 8 slices 1x
  • Diet: Dairy-Free, Vegan

Description

Indulge in an easy-to-make Burnt Basque Cheesecake in a loaf pan that features a creamy, smooth, and dairy-free (plant-based cream cheese) texture with a beautifully caramelized rustic crust. Perfectly shaped for easy slicing and serving, this vegan delight combines simplicity and elegance, delivering rich flavors and a luscious center with minimal prep time.

Ingredients

Scale

Cheesecake Base

  • 400g Plant-Based Cream Cheese
  • 150g Sugar
  • 3 Eggs
  • 2 tbsp All-Purpose Flour
  • 120ml Heavy Plant-Based Cream
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract (natural)
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Juice (natural)
  • 1 tsp Natural Gelling Agent

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Loaf Pan: Line your loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides to make removing the cheesecake easy once baked. This will ensure a clean lift and preserve that rustic burnt edge perfectly.
  2. Mix the Batter: In a large bowl, beat the plant-based cream cheese until creamy and smooth. Gradually add the sugar, then add the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated. Stir in the flour and natural gelling agent carefully, followed by the heavy plant-based cream, vanilla extract (natural), and lemon juice (natural). Mix just until combined to form a silky smooth batter.
  3. Bake at High Heat: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake in a preheated oven at a high temperature to achieve the iconic burnt top and soft center. The high heat caramelizes the sugar, creating a beautifully blistered crust that contrasts perfectly with the creamy interior.
  4. Cool and Set: Once baked, allow the cheesecake to cool completely in the pan to set fully. The natural gelling agent helps the cheesecake hold its shape while maintaining a creamy texture.
  5. Slice and Serve: Use the parchment overhang to gently lift the cheesecake from the loaf pan. Slice with a sharp knife for clean cuts and serve as is or with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Choose room temperature ingredients to avoid lumps and ensure a smooth batter.
  • Do not overmix; mix until just combined to prevent a dense texture.
  • Use a sharp knife for slicing to keep your slices neat and the delicate crust intact.
  • Watch the baking time carefully: the top should be deeply browned but the center slightly jiggly for perfect creaminess.
  • Cool slowly to avoid cracking or changes in texture.
