Burnt Basque Cheesecake in a Loaf Pan

cream cheese, softened (full-fat)

sugar

eggs, room temperature

heavy cream

vanilla extract

salt

all-purpose flour

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal.

In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until very smooth and fluffy.

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Pour in the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt. Beat until fully incorporated and silky.

Sift in the flour and fold gently until just combined.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Tap lightly on the counter to release air bubbles.

Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is deeply golden and the center still jiggles slightly.

Allow the cheesecake to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight) before slicing.

This loaf pan Basque cheesecake recipe yields an impressive, creamy dessert (with that essential caramelized top!) without the hassle -- no water bath required.

Loaf Pan Basque Cheesecake Recipe

(8-ounce) blocks cream cheese,

vanilla bean paste

eggs, divided

Line an 8x4-inch loaf pan with parchment paper. (If using a 9x5-inch pan, you’ll need to reduce the baking time slightly.)

In a food processor, pulse to combine the cream cheese and sugar until smooth.

Add vanilla, salt, flour, and one egg. Pulse to combine.

Add the remaining eggs one at a time, pulsing between each addition.

Add heavy cream and lemon juice or zest if using, and process until smooth.

Bake for 50-55 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the cheesecake jiggles slightly.

Cool the cheesecake to room temperature on a cooling rack, then transfer to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours or overnight. (The cheesecake will deflate during this time.)

Use the parchment paper overhang to unmold the cheesecake from the pan, then remove the parchment paper.

Transfer the cheesecake to a serving platter and serve chilled with fresh berries, if desired.
