Basque Cheesecake, Serves 8

FLAVOR PROFILE

• Caramelized finish, creamy cheesecake interior, buttery shortbread crust

WHY WE LOVE IT

• A specialty of northern Spain, Basque cheesecake is famous for its silky texture and deep, dark finish. Eli's Cheesecake Company of Chicago creates this decadent version by layering an ultra-creamy filling over a buttery shortbread crust, then baking it to a crackled, caramelized finish. The delicious dessert makes a great finish for brunches, holidays and other festive occasions.
