Basque cheesecake (Karim Bourgi)


Basque cheesecake (Karim Bourgi)

01 September 2021

A few weeks ago, Karim Bourgi shared on instagram his "Basque cheesecake" recipe, so after these few days of vacation here I am again with the reproduction of his cheesecake. It's a very simple recipe and requires very few ingredients 😊 However if you want a less firm, slightly more melty result, like his, you'll have to adjust the baking time/temperature. In my oven, I think I would have had to bake it at 210°C for 20 minutes instead of the 25 minutes at 220°C indicated, but the result was still delicious !
