A baked Basque cheesecake made for sharing
The Basque cheesecake is the crustless style made famous in San Sebastian. There is no biscuit base, and it is gluten free. It is baked hot and fast so the middle stays soft and almost molten. Rich and creamy, with a soft, custardy centre.
How it is finished
Each cheesecake is baked free-form in parchment, so the sides fold in naturally. It is served as it comes out of the oven, with no glaze or fruit.
Handmade in Port Melbourne
Each Baked Basque Cheese Cake is made in-house at Melbourne Bakehouse on Bay Street in Port Melbourne. It is a good fit for birthdays, family dinners and shared dessert tables where you want a whole cheesecake ready to serve.
Choosing your cheesecake size
| Size | Best for |
|---|---|
| 5-inch | Serves around 4-6 people. Best for smaller celebrations, afternoon tea or a thoughtful dessert for a smaller table. |
| 9-inch | Serves around 10-12 people. Best for birthdays, family lunches or office celebrations where dessert is part of the occasion. |
| 11-inch | Serves around 16-20 people. Best for larger birthdays, office celebrations or shared dessert tables where you need more generous portions. |
You can also add a message plaque for a birthday, thank you, anniversary or custom message.
How to serve Baked Basque Cheese Cake
