Mini Burnt Cheesecake Recipe

Mini Burnt Cheesecake Recipe - San Sebastian Cheesecake

This mini burnt cheesecake recipe is a bite-sized interpretation of the classic Basque or San Sebastian Cheesecake. Made famous by La Viña, in San Sebastian, Spain, these are the perfect little snack cheesecakes or a great dessert for a party or pot luck.

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 45 minutes
Total Time 1 hour

Ingredients

  • 16 ounces cream cheese (2 cups or 450g)
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1 egg
  • ¼ cup heavy cream or whipping cream
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400F (200C).
  2. Cut large squares of non-stick baking parchment paper.
  3. Add cream cheese and sugar into a mixing bowl or food processor. Blend until creamy.
  4. Add the egg, salt, heavy cream, and vanilla and blend until creamy.
  5. Sprinkle in the flour and stir with a wooden spoon until blended.
  6. One at a time, add the parchment paper to a muffin pan. Use your fingers to press the baking parchment paper down as best as you can into the edges of the muffin pan.
  7. Fill each muffin round with enough cheesecake mixture to reach just below the top of the pan. Use a small spoon to press the cheesecake mixture into the crevices of the paper.
  8. Before placing the muffin pan in the oven, shake the pan a bit or bang it lightly on the countertop to remove any excess air bubbles.
  9. Place in the oven for 30-45 minutes. Start watching at the 25-minute mark. They are ready when the tops are browned but not burnt, despite the name of the dish.
  10. Let the cheesecake fully cool to room temperature for 30 minutes. The tops will sink a bit, but this is okay.
  11. Chill in the refrigerator for at least two hours before serving.
  12. Remove each cheesecake from the muffin pan and serve with the paper on.

Notes

For best results all ingredients should be room temperature before starting.
