Description

With its burnished top and custardy interior, this Pumpkin Basque Cheesecake reimagines the classic with bold autumnal flair. Flavored with pumpkin purée and warm spices (along with a hint of turmeric for extra color), this crustless cheesecake boasts a rich pumpkin flavor beneath its signature caramelized exterior. There's no crust to fuss with, no water bath to babysit — just a dramatic, crackled crown giving way to velvety pumpkin decadence below. Inspired by Santiago Rivera's famed Basque creation, this version is as stunning as it is effortless.
