This is a Burnt Cheesecake, not a disastrously failed Japanese cheesecake! LOL… It is actually an intentionally “BURNT” to make caramelized cheesecake, made popular in Basque County of Spain, a cafe named La Vina in San Sebastián. If you have tried this super yummy melt-in-the-mouth delish cheesecake from Spain, here is the low carb cheesecake recipe of it, it tastes just the same.
It is easy and tasty!
Even kids can bake it.
With only 5 ingredients, no messy egg separation, no tedious egg white whisking, without biscuit crust, and best of all, free from the delicate 2-part batter folding. Not only the batter preparation is quick and simple, but the lining of parchment paper is also just a swift, in addition, the water bath is not required in the baking. The only set-back probably is the lengthy baking duration, however, you may just leave it in the oven to bake until the time is up. If it is your first time baking of this low carb cheesecake, keep an eye towards the last 15 minutes of the baking just to monitor the browning before it turns too charred, record the time and it will be the baking time for your next bake. That’s all!!! Fantastic, right?

Apparently, you were asked to bake a dessert for an event tomorrow and all you can find at home is cream cheese, heavy cream, eggs, sweetener and xanthan gum in hand.

Why this cheesecake?
At the time when Mandy, my baking buddy, told me about this yummy Basque Burnt Cheesecake, I know I have to try it for a few reasons. First of all, I want to share more low carb yet delicious dessert recipes with you, I know how bad it is when you are in low carb diet and your sweet tooth suddenly strikes in. Secondly, the non-low-carb recipe looks easy to covert, so it will be a quick trial and error process before I have gotten it right. Thirdly, I love the rustic laid-back appearance of this low carb cheesecake and how simple it is to bake, I am sure you will love to so some simple bakes. Finally, I want to surprise you with a cheesecake that you probably won’t believe it is actually super yummy, try it out to find out how delicious it is.
The base of my burnt cheesecake is very oily and the cake is quite loose. Am i doing something wrong?
Did you cool it down before unmolding?
I can’t find Xanthan gum , Can l replace xanthan gum with almond flour .
Thank you
You can omit it but the cake will be softer. I don’t like almond flour being added to this creamy yummy cheesecake because you will feel the grainy particles of almond flour in your mouth. I know there are other low carbs burnt cheesecake recipes are using almond flour, you may try to search that recipe.
Hi! Can I add lemond juice and vanilla essence for flavor? If yes, how much?
Should not a problem to add 1 tsp lemon juice and/or 1/2 tsp vanillas extract into the recipe, you may increase the measurement a little if you want a stronger taste.
Where do you get Xanthan Gum? <3
I bought it from an organic shop. I saw that Bob’s Red Mill has it too if you could get this brand from the grocery store.
Looking delicious
what SIZE is the springform pan?
It is an 8″ springform pan
If ignore the xanthum gum, will the texture still same like normal burnt cheesecake ( not low card version)?
Yes, you may omit the xanthum gum but the cheese might not bind so well while it is still warm. Make sure you handle it with care before cooling it down.
