Description

This Burnt Basque Cheesecake In A Loaf Pan is a decadent and simple dessert featuring a beautifully caramelized exterior and a luscious, creamy interior. Made with plant-based cream cheese and a natural gelling agent, it delivers a silky texture and rich flavor perfect for any occasion, from casual gatherings to elegant presentations.

Ingredients

Scale

Cheesecake Batter

  • 450g Plant-Based Cream Cheese
  • 200g Granulated Sugar
  • 3 Large Eggs
  • 240ml Heavy Plant-Based Cream
  • 2 tablespoons All-Purpose Flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free option)
  • 1 teaspoon Natural Vanilla Extract (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon Natural Gelling Agent

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Loaf Pan: Line your loaf pan with parchment paper, ensuring the paper extends over the edges for easy removal of the cheesecake later. This prevents sticking and helps create the signature rustic edges.
  2. Mix the Batter: In a large bowl, beat the plant-based cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the granulated sugar and continue mixing until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition for even distribution. Blend in the heavy plant-based cream and natural vanilla extract. Finally, sift in the all-purpose flour and natural gelling agent, folding gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain the silky texture.
  3. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (390°F) for 50-60 minutes. The high temperature helps form a caramelized, slightly burnt top while keeping the center creamy. Check for a jiggle in the middle to ensure the cheesecake is set but still moist inside.
  4. Cool and Chill: Allow the cheesecake to cool completely at room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to fully set and develop deeper flavors.

Notes

  • Use room temperature plant-based cream cheese and eggs for a smoother batter.
  • Do not overbake; maintain a soft center for the perfect creamy texture.
  • High heat is key to achieving the caramelized crust quickly without drying the inside.
  • Cool completely before slicing to prevent cracking and to maintain texture.
  • Substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour blend if needed.
