Basque cheesecake is a crustless, golden-baked beauty. The cake is a slightly different version of the regular New York-style cheesecake. It features a golden-brown caramelized exterior and is crustless. It attains this exterior by being baked at a much higher heat compared to the regular cheesecake. If you’re fond of this cake, here are some top spots for you to visit in Pakistan:
1. Junoon’s Basque Cheesecake in Lahore
The restaurant claims that here is where you’ll find the best cheesecake in the world. More than that! They even share a free recipe for you to try at home. Junoon is best known for its desi cuisine, but the one dish that stands out on the menu the most is a slice of their mouth-watering cheesecake.
2. Haute Dolci
A small and very pink café in Fairways Raya, Lahore. Haute Dolci offers a slice of their freshly baked cheesecake for just 2000/-. The café offers a wide variety of delicious treats and desserts but if you ever see a big crowd in there, it is definitely for their cake!
3. Fuòco’s Basque Cheesecake
If Haute Dolci is feeling a little out of a budget, Fuòco offers a much cheaper price, and definitely a more hearty quantity. Fuòco is widely popular for its contemporary Italian Cuisine, though their panna cotta is the star of the show, their cheesecake is just as delicious.
4. Maapis
This cheesecake is a “burnt, basque” too: it’s caramelized at the top. The texture is softer and not as dense as the NY cheesecake either. Additionally, the caramel tones are delicious. This is a cheesecake you have to experience once.
5. Test Kitchen Karachi
Now Test Kitchen isn’t exactly the best spot for a cheesecake, but that isn’t because it’s inherently bad. No. Perhaps Test has the perfect slice for you. Their basque cheesecake isn’t as caramelized it is what they are truly supposed to taste like. Some love it, some just want sugar.
These are some of the top spots for a soft, caramelized basque cheesecake in Pakistan.
