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:
-
Prep Claypot
Line inside of Claypot with 2 overlapping sheets of parchment paper, pleated to extend above rim for easy lifting and rustic edges. -
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. -
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. -
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.
