Adapted by Kyle Libramonte

Prep Time:20 m ● Cook Time:60m

Serves 8

Ingredients: 
  • 2 lb (4 pkgs) Cream Cheese, room temperature
  • 1 ½ cups Granulated Sugar
  • 6 large Eggs, room temperature
  • 2 cups Heavy Cream
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 tsp Kosher Salt
  • ⅓ cup All-Purpose Flour (plus extra for light dusting)
Instructions:
  1. Prep Claypot
    Line inside of Claypot with 2 overlapping sheets of parchment paper, pleated to extend above rim for easy lifting and rustic edges.
  2. Mix Batter
    Beat Cream Cheese and Sugar on medium-low until smooth.
     Increase speed to medium; add Eggs 1 at a time, beating briefly after each addition.
     With mixer on low, pour in Heavy Cream, Vanilla, and Salt. Mix until just combined.
     Sift in Flour; beat on low until silky and smooth. Scrape sides and mix briefly again.
  3. Bake in Oven
    Pour batter into parchment-lined Claypot. Place Claypot on rimmed baking sheet.
    Bake in preheated oven at 400°F (204°C) for 60–65 minutes, until top is deep golden-brown but center still jiggles.
     Note: Signature Basque cheesecake texture is jiggly, cloud-like, and caramelized on top.
  4. Cool & Serve
    Cool at room temperature; cake will collapse slightly as it cools.
     Optionally, refrigerate several hours or overnight for firmer texture and deeper flavor.
