Ingredients
  

For the Cheesecake Base
  • 16 oz Cream Cheese Ensure it's at room temperature for easy mixing.
  • 3/4 cup Sugar Can be substituted with brown sugar for richer flavor.
  • 1/4 cup Miso Paste White or yellow miso is recommended for milder taste.
  • 3 large Eggs Ensure they’re fresh for the best texture.
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream For a lighter version, use half-and-half.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Use pure vanilla extract for the best flavor.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt Use a small amount, as miso is salty.
For Serving Suggestions
  • 1 cup Soy Whip Serve with a dollop for added creaminess.
  • 2 tablespoons Kinako Top with roasted soybean flour for a nutty finish.

Equipment

  • springform pan
  • mixing bowl
  • electric mixer

Method
 

How to Make Miso Burnt Basque Cheesecake
  1. Prepare the Pan: Line the bottom and sides of a springform pan with parchment paper, crumpling the paper beforehand for better adherence.
  2. Blend Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese and sugar, beating until smooth. Gradually add miso, followed by eggs and heavy cream, mixing thoroughly. Finish with vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
  3. Bake: Pour the cheesecake batter into the prepared pan and bake at 400°F (200°C) for about 25 minutes, or until the top is deeply caramelized and crackled.
  4. Cool: Allow the cheesecake to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate to set for a few hours or ideally overnight.
