What is a Basque Burnt Cheesecake and where to get one
The Basque Burnt Cheesecake is the latest mouth-watering food trend perfect for people who are always making room for yummy and creamy dessert.
Also known as Tarta de Queso, it originated from Basque Country in Spain, particularly in La Viña Restaurant. What makes this type of cheesecake different from its more commonly known counterparts is the absence of crust. The Basque Burnt Cheesecake is made without a crust and baked in the oven so the edges and top part get the beautiful scorched look with a creamy interior, giving it a more rustic appearance.
Now, Filipinos don't need to go to Spain to taste this enticing treat. With just one message from these small business owners, you can savor Basque Burnt Cheesecake and have them delivered to your homes.
