Cheesecake (Torta Basca Queimadinha)

Ingredients
500 g cream cheese (room temperature)
200 g sugar
4 large eggs
250 ml whipped cream or heavy cream
20 g cornstarch flour (2 tbsp)
1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Lemon peel (optional)
Preparation method
Preheat oven to 200 °C. Oil a round removable bottom die (20 to 22 cm) and line with butter paper so that the butter paper goes over the edges.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese together with the sugar until smooth. Add eggs one by one, beating well after each addition. Then add the cream cream cheese and vanilla extract (if desired) and mix until smooth. Sprinkle the batter with cornstarch and gently mix well until it is integrated with the batter (not too hard).
Pour the batter into the batter-laid mold and use a spatula to smooth the surface. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes. The surface should be fully browned until “a little burnt”, while the center part remains slightly soft and creamy to the touch. Cover with foil for the last 10 minutes if the surface cooks too quickly.
Remove from oven and allow to cool completely to form. Then chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to make it firmer and more flavorful. Remove the parchment paper and carefully outline.
Slice thinly and serve plain or dipped in red fruit broth, fresh fruit, honey or light citrus jam.
Tips
Use 1 tablespoon of almond liqueur instead of vanilla.
Use almond flour instead of cornmeal.
Make an easy red berry soup: Boil red berries (frozen or fresh) with 2 tablespoons sugar and 1 tablespoon lemon juice over low heat until thick.
