Craving for a burnt Basque Cheesecake? You’ll get it from these places in Dubai
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Baked cakes have always conquered human taste buds. In fact, this is a field where so many innovations and researches are literally going on! Especially during the lock-downs, from banana bread to focaccia to “quarantine cakes”, a number of baked treats stole hearts and social media feeds as many people stayed at home. The latest to have gained food-trend status is the now ubiquitous burnt Basque cheesecake.

What is burnt Basque Cheesecake?

This creamy, fluffy creation, with a distinguishable “burnt” outer layer and a creamy interior, is believed to have originated from La Vina, a restaurant in San Sebastian, in Spain’s Basque region. Perhaps this is why it also sometimes goes by the name San Sebastian cheesecake.

According to YouTube’s data team, there was a 60 per cent increase in searches for the cheesecake between March 15 and July 21, as compared to searches between January and early March.

One reason for its popularity may be that it’s a cheesecake that “breaks all the rules” – it has no crust and is baked at a high temperature for a shorter period, which is what gives it that burnt look. The overall effect is a dessert with an almost caramelised crust, while its interior is creamy, fluffy and sometimes even molten.

Where to get it in Dubai?

The business may have started selling the cakes only a few months ago, but it’s already accumulated quite the following. Apart from the original burnt Basque cheesecake, the online delivery shop has a range of flavours including chocolate, matcha and lemon. It also has a keto version of the baked treat, and regularly has new creations for its “flavour of the month” (think milk tea or mocha burnt Basque cheesecake).

Cost: A classic solo cheesecake (250g) costs Dh35. Orders can be made via Instagram

While all cheesecakes require a healthy amount of cream cheese, Luma says her recipe also throws some high-quality Italian cheeses in the mix. The rest of the ingredients are a secret for now, the but the cakes are still a hit.

Cost: Three mini cheesecakes are available for Dh125. A 10-inch cheesecake costs Dh245 (for pick-up) and Dh260 for delivery. Orders can be made via Instagram.

Whether it’s the simplicity of preparation or the intriguing texture, there are plenty of reasons to give burnt Basque a try. As Dubai food blogger Haiya Tariq of Pass Me The Dim Sum put it, “it’s indulgent and unpretentious both at once. I love a no-fuss dessert that’s still made from scratch and tastes decadent and that’s exactly what this is.”
