At first glance, burnt Basque cheesecake almost looks like a savory raclette or a scorched Portuguese tart, but cut through that scorched, blackened top crust layer and it will reveal a gooey center of a rich mixture of sweet cream cheese, eggs and cream that oozes out like slow moving molten lava. It’s a winning formula according to notable chefs around the world, but one that’s not always so easy to perfect.

Chef Pauline Lagdameo now shares one of her most prized recipes that has been perfected over time. This cheesecake from the northern resort town of San Sebastian, Spain is just absolutely delectable. This class will showcase the classic Burnt Basque Cheesecake, a Strawberry Basque Burnt Cheesecake and a Blueberry Swirl Basque Burnt Cheesecake. All 3 cheesecakes spell delicious.
