Two years ago, my Little Chef requested that we bake a New York cheesecake. I remember, he even showed me a recipe from a book we had at home. So with much enthusiasm, we baked our very first cheesecake. While cheesecakes are normally served chilled, the kiddo preferred his warm.
That was during the days when he was still helping around the kitchen. Since the pandemic interrupted our ‘normal’ routines and pushed us to leave our place for a while, the kiddo seemed to have lost interest in helping around even after we returned home. He’s rather since become my mere customer who’s always been very appreciative of my products.
Fast forward to early this year, I saw a burnt cheesecake displayed in a food stall in a mall. It’s quite pricey though. I told the hubby that I would just bake one at home. However, it took me a while to finally bake that burnt cheesecake. I think I got preoccupied with my breadmaking quest around that time.
Months later, I saw an online video tutorial about Basque burnt cheesecake by a famous Filipino chef. I found his recipe simple and easy to follow. Thus, my first attempt at Basque cheesecake in May was followed by another two. 😀
The first cheesecake was baked at 205 degrees Celsius. The other one (which I made today) was baked at 220 degrees Celsius, thus it’s more burnt. In between these two (sometime in July), I tried making the mini cheesecakes.
I guess, these recipes will be something we will regularly come back to. As we like cheese a lot, cheesecakes – New York or Basque, burnt or not – will always be welcomed with much delight! 😀
Looks yummy, Ate Loids! I am excited to try the more burnt version! <3

I’m loving the details esp the story behind the food u bake or prepare, Ma’am! It is always from the heart of a loving mom.
Thank you, Ms. Mar! Truly, a big encouragement. ❤
