Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1

    In a blender, add all your ingredients and blend for 10-15 seconds just until everything is mixed - don't overblend. If you have a lot of air bubbles after blending, let the mixture sit for 20-30 min.

  2. 2

    Preheat your oven (with the rack about 6in from the top) to 425°F / 220°C for convection oven.

  3. 3

    Line two 8oz (240ml) cocottes or ramekins with a square of parchment paper. Press down and crease in the paper really well - the imperfect edges of the paper give this the rustic look of a classic Basque Burnt Cheesecake

  4. 4

    Stir the batter and then pour into the dish, splitting equally between the two and leaving half an inch of space at the top so it can rise while baking.

  5. 5

    Bake for 15 min and then check to see if cheesecake is completely brown on top. If it's not yet browned, turn on broiler for just 1-2 min until you get your desired burnt color. Remove from oven, it should still be a bit jiggly.

  6. 6

    Remove from the dish and let it cool to room temperature as the center of the cheesecake sinks. Then chill in fridge for at least 2 hours but ideally overnight. Serve chilled!
