Burnt Basque cheesecake
“Lighter than American-style cheesecake, almost like baked custard, Basque cheesecake is deliciously creamy and visually impressive with its caramelised surface. It’s also quite easy to make. After one or two practice runs, you can pretty much guarantee success and, on date nights, that’s the first thing to avoid: cooking disasters. Personally, I eat it as is. However, it goes brilliantly with citric sides, such as blueberry jam or orange or yuzu marmalade.” Zijun Meng, co-owner, Solis at Arcade Battersea, London
