Coffee Basque Burnt Cheesecake 咖啡口味巴斯克芝士蛋糕

It's been a while since we last made Basque Burnt Cheesecake. Last year, the boy made this cake for my birthday...

Basque Burnt Cheesecake (lemon flavour), made by the boy, for my birthday.

Previously we baked this cheesecake using an oven. Somehow my oven heat is too gentle, we couldn't get the "burnt" top with a high-temperature setting. This time, I baked using air-fryer, lower temperature setting than the oven, a shorter baking time, the top is nicely browned, just perfect without a hint of bitterness! Added some coffee layers that taste so good!

This is another flavour I've tried using the same recipe, reduced sugar and replacing coffee paste with some rose syrup. The colour turned out so beautiful with a sweet rose aroma. This has become our new favourite, I'll definitely make this again!

Method:

1. Combine cream cheese and sugar in a mixing bowl, whisk until smooth and creamy. 

If you're not a fan of coffee,
add some lemon juice instead of coffee paste and vanilla. 

2. Whisk in eggs one by one, followed by whipping cream. Lastly, add in flour and mix until smooth.

3. Pour batter through a sieve evenly into 2 bowls, add vanilla extract and coffee paste in each bowl. Pour into a 6" round pan lined with parchment paper. 

Someone's playing with the batter... :D 

Don't try drawing nice patterns on the basque burnt cheesecake,
it can't be seen after baking! :D 

4. Bake 180'C for 25 mins. Remove the cake and let it cool on the rack. The cake is jiggly and the centre of the cake is very soft at this point, refrigerate overnight before cutting and serving. This cheesecake texture is creamy and soft as my kid doesn't like gooey cheesecake. If you like it gooey at the centre, use a higher temperature and a shorter baking time. If you'd like to bake this in an oven, you may use this temperature and baking time as reference: 200'C-220'C 30mins, adjust the temperature based on your oven heat. 若喜欢我的食谱，可以LIKE和追随我的面书专页，不要错过最新食谱发布。If you like my recipe, click here, LIKE & follow Miki's Food Archives Facebook page or follow us on Instagram: mfa_dingoozatfood  to receive more recipe updates.
