Keto Basque Burnt Cheesecake

Keto Basque Burnt Cheesecake


Created at the hand of San Sebastián’s La Viña restaurant’s owner-chef, Santiago Rivera, la tarta de queso quemada vasco (the Basque Burnt Cheescake) has become a sensation worldwide. Spaniards are no strangers to funky burnt dairy desserts, with leche frita and dulce de leche being ample proof of the Iberian’s peninsulas obsession with burning sugar and lactose to create memorable sweets. This recipe replaces the sugar with an erythritol sugar substitute to achieve a very special low-carb dessert.

Step 1

Measurements for ingredients in these instructions (steps) are for one cake in a 6” diameter cake pan, at least 4” (10cm) deep. Makes six small slices. Adjust accordingly for the alternate recipe yields.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 430°F (220°C). Line the cake pan with parchment paper.

Step 3

In a clean medium-size mixing bowl combine the remaining ingredients EXCEPT for the cocoa powder. Stir thoroughly to combine the wet ingredients. Pour the dry ingredients into the bowl of wet ingredients and fold the dry ingredients until you form a thick batter with same consistency as shown in the video.

Step 4

Divide the batter into two parts. In one part, add the cocoa powder and fold into the batter until you have a smooth consistent mixture. Drop large spoonfuls of each batter into a cake pan or loaf pan alternating between the vanilla and chocolate batters. Then run a knife or fork through the batter to create a swirl. Place the pan on the middle rack in the oven and bake at 350°F (180°C) for 50-60 minutes or until an inserted toothpick is clean (free of batter and crumb) when removed.

Step 5

Remove and allow the cake to cool then remove and keep covered to preserve moisture. Slice the loaf or cake into 12 equal pieces. To help retain moisture only slice the loaf or cake as portions are needed.
