## Simple Yet Incredibly Indulgent Dessert

I was walking past one of my favourite cafes today and in their display windwo was this Burnt Basque Cheesecake. It was staring at me, as if asking me to buy it. The price? £55. I was in shock.

I haven't made Basque Cheesecake before, but it doesn't look so complicated to make. So I searched online.

One of my favourite chefs online, [Hanbit Cho's recipe video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGR8ONqRAnE) showed up. It was indeed quite easy to make, and looks so good! So I decided to make this after work.

## What is Basque Cheesecake?

Basque Cheesecake is named after the Spain's Basque region in the north, bordering France.

This cheesecake differs from the New York style cheesecake in that it does not have a crust and it has that distinctive burnt and caramelized top, as well as its gooey curd-like interior.

This version of cheesecake is so much easy to make. Essentially it's just 5 key ingredients, with the addition of vanilla extract. You don't even need to have any mixer.

## For this recipe, you'll need

- Cream Cheese: 320g
- Sugar: 85g
- Eggs: 110g
- Heavy Cream: 190g
- Cake Flour (or cornstarch): 10g
- Vanilla Extract: a few drops
- Vanilla Bean: just a bit

## The Perfect Basque Cheesecake in 7 Moves

1. Start by preparing your pan. Line it with two layers of crumpled parchment paper to prevent excessive caramelization on the sides of the cheesecake.
2. Begin by lightly beating the room-temperature cream cheese. Remember, you're not aiming for a fluffy mix - the goal is a smooth and silky texture.
3. Next, add the sugar to the cream cheese and mix them together.
4. Gradually incorporate the eggs into your mixture. Doing this slowly helps maintain the smooth consistency of your batter.
5. Mix the cake flour with the heavy cream in a separate bowl, then gradually add this mixture into your batter.
6. Pass the mixture through a sieve to remove any lumps, ensuring a smooth and silky cheesecake.
7. Pour the mixture into your prepared pan and bake it in a pre-heated oven at 220℃ for 18~22mins. Remember, to get that beautifully burnt top, maintaining a high temperature is crucial.

Let if cool a bit, then let set overnight in the fridge before serving.

## Some Recipe Notes

Here are my personal notes after making this recipe.

- Hanbit used a hand mixer in his video, but this will incorporate too much air in the mixture. I just used a spatula to mix all the ingredients together.
- As Hanbit suggested, do not use too much vanilla as you don't want to overpower the cheese.
- It's highly suggested that you taste the cheesecake batter before setting it on the pan. You can still add some flavours as you want.
- Adjust the baking time until you have a burned or caramelised top to your liking.
- Once your cheesecake is out of the oven, let it cool down to room temperature before moving it into the fridge. It will be too gooey to eat right out of the oven, so let it set for at least 12 hours. This waiting period might test your patience, but the result is worth it.
- Top with your favourite berries. The shop where I saw this from had some fresh blueberries, strawberries, raspberries and blackberries on top.
- Before experimenting with other flavours, make the cheesecake on itself first. Once you are familiar with the process, try to mix in some other ingredients like ube extract, chocolate, etc.

## What to Pair with your Basque Cheesecake

The Basque Cheesecake's mildly tangy flavor pairs well with a variety of fruits. Serve slices of fresh berries, a drizzle of passion fruit pulp, or a dollop of citrusy marmalade on the side for a refreshing contrast.

## Enhancing Your Cheesecake Experience

## Kababayan Muffins: A Filipino Delight

Kababayan muffins are a staple in Filipino bakeries, offering a delightful taste that carries a rich cultural significance.

These muffins are soft and slightly chewy in texture and are made with canned milk as traditional bakeries in the Philippines won't have any refrigerators.

I remember eating these muffins as a child and making them at home just brought me back to my childhood!

The name 'Kababayan' translates to 'countryman' in Filipino, and the unique shape of these muffins is reminiscent of the traditional farmer's hat, which is taken off and raised when exchanging warm greeting among countrymen.

## The Magic Behind Kababayan Muffins

The secret to the perfect Kababayan muffin lies in the baking process.

The muffins are initially baked at a high temperature to create a distinctive bulge in the middle, then the temperature is reduced to ensure the inside is cooked thoroughly.

This method, known as temperature shock, gives the muffins their unique hat-like shape.

The amount of baking powder also ensures to give the muffins that distinctive look.

## Ingredients for Kababayan Muffins

Here's what you'll need to make your own batch of Kababayan muffins:

- 312.5 grams of all-purpose flour
- 150 grams of white sugar
- 20 grams of baking powder
- 1.15 grams of baking soda
- 1.42 grams of salt

## Ingredient Notes

- Instead of water, I used fresh milk to give the muffins more body and creaminess.
- If you use a large-sized cup cake liners, you will be able to make just 12 pieces.
- Try mixing the batter with 1 tablespoon of mango essence, 3/4 tablespoon of pandan essence or 1 tablespoon of ube essence to give them some other flavours.

## Preparing Your Kababayan Muffins

1. Preheat your oven to 415°F/212°C and grease your muffin pans.
2. In a bowl, combine your dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. In another bowl, mix together your wet ingredients: water, evaporated milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Add yellow food coloring if desired.
4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until the batter is smooth.
5. Divide the batter evenly among the greased muffin pans.
6. Bake in the preheated oven at 415°F/212°C for 7 minutes.
7. After 7 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F/180°C and bake for another 7 minutes.
8. Let the muffins cool before removing them from the pan.

## Delightful Ingredients

For the best Matcha Cookies experience, gather the following ingredients:

<RecipesIngredientsMDX />

## Kat and Alec's Match Cookies Method

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F or 180°C. Line your baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sifted matcha powder, baking soda, baking powder, and kosher salt.
3. Cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and egg and mix until blended perfectly. Scrape the sides of the bowl to ensure every bit is combined.
4. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until they're just combined. Avoid over-mixing!
5. Scoop out the dough to form cookie balls of about 1.7 tablespoons each or around 24 pieces. Gently roll each dough ball in the sugar bowl until covered and place them onto the prepared baking sheets. Leave a little space between each cookie to give them room to expand a bit.
6. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until they look soft in the middle and the edges turn slightly golden. Let them rest for 5 minutes on the cookie sheet then transfer to a cooling rack.

## Tips and Tricks

The couple have the following suggestions for the best results.

- Use soft butter, not melted. Apprently this helps to make the cookie soft and chewy.
- They recommend using brown sugar to add moisture and to keep the cookies soft and chewy.
- Ensure to keep the cookies the same size so they bake all at the same time.
- Avoid over-mixing - a fairly standard suggestion.
- Bake using single pans on the middle rack for even cooking.
- Finally, cool down the cookies before storing the cookies to avoid moisture from ruining the texture of the cookies.

## Ingredient Alternatives

Kat and Alec have the following ideas for ingredient substitutions.

- Gluten free flour for those of us who have gluten-free requirements.
- Using vanilla bean paste for a richer vanilla flavour.
- Hijicha powder or roasted green tea poweder - such an insteresting flavour to try!
- Add white chocolate chips or toffee bits for more sweetness, but avoid semi-sweet chocolate chips as they will overpower the matcha flavour.
- Miso glaze - mix together 1/2 cup powedered sugar, 1 teaspoon milk, 1/2 teaspoon white miso paste and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix well then glaze once the cookies cool.
- Roll the dough in a mix of 1/2 cup sugar with 1 teaspoon cinnamon instead of plain sugar.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Why is my matcha cookie not green enough?

Matcha powder's quality plays a significant role in the color of your cookies. The brighter the green, the higher the quality. However, baking can also darken the color.

### Can I use green tea bags instead of matcha powder?

It's not advisable. Matcha powder and green tea have different textures and flavors. The powder gives a more concentrated flavor, which is what we want in our cookies.

### Why did my cookies not flatten?

This could be due to the dough being too cold. Try letting it rest at room temperature for a while before baking.

### Can I freeze the dough for later use?

Absolutely! Just wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and freeze. When you're ready to bake, let it thaw in the refrigerator overnight.

### Is there a vegan alternative for this recipe?

You can use plant-based butter and replace the egg with a flax egg for a vegan version of these matcha cookies.

## Kitchen Hacks for an Unforgettable Dish

- To ensure your chicken is tender and juicy, marinate it for at least 30 minutes.
- For a thicker sauce, you can add an extra spoonful of cornstarch mixed with a bit of water.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, sprinkle in some red pepper flakes or drizzle with sriracha before serving.
- Cut the chicken pieces into similar-sized pieces so that they cook in roughly the same time.
- The oil should be at around 180C or 350F before frying. Any lower and the batter will not be crispy and too hot will burn them.
- When frying the chicken pieces, do not over crowd the pan to ensure the oil does not drop in temperature. Leave the chicken pieces to shallow fry for about 3 minutes on medium heat until you get some nice browning on one side.
- You can check if the chicken is cooked by slicing in half a piece. The meat should be soft and tender and white without any noticeable red areas in the centre.
- Use as much garlic as you please!
- For a crispier batter, do not use plain flour. Instead use potato or cassava starch or other plant-based starches together with the cornflour.
