Basque Burnt Cheesecake – 5 ingredient recipe [suitable for beginners]

How to make Basque Burnt Cheesecake, simple and easy recipe using 5 ingredients.
This is a simple cheesecake and is not what you would imagine a perfect cheesecake to be.
It is dark on the top, almost ‘burnt’ and has no biscuit or sponge base. Crust free, burnt and baked in high heat that create it’s own crust. In the baking process, there is no need for a water bath to surround the tin, and I have simplified the cooking process as much as possible for people to follow along at home.
It was invented at a bar called La Viña in San Sebastian, Spain and has now become famous. It also goes by the name of La Viña cheesecake. The baked Basque Spanish cheesecake original recipe uses only 5 ingredients, but the proportions given are for making a huge for the restaurant. The volumes of the ingredients in this recipe are are suitable for making at home. The method has also been simplified so that anyone can make it at home, and is almost impossible to mess up.
