You can use store-bought or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tashasartisanfoods.com\/blog\/easiest-homemade-cream-cheese\/\">homemade cream cheese<\/a>. Make sure it\u2019s softened to room temperature so it blends smoothly without lumps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Cream:<\/strong> This gives the chai spice Basque cheesecake its rich, creamy, smooth texture. In this masala chai cheesecake recipe, we infuse the cream with tea and chai masala before adding it to the batter. Use whipping cream \/ heavy cream or 30-35% fat cream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Eggs<\/strong>: These give the chai Basque cheesecake structure and a custard-like, creamy texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Sugar:<\/strong> Fine granulated sugar works the best here as it dissolves easily. But you can use regular granulated sugar or cane sugar too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Tea:<\/strong> I used loose black tea. Feel free to swap with black tea bags. I like to use Assam tea for its strong flavor, aroma, and color. Use any black tea you prefer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Chai masala:<\/strong> This is what gives the masala chai cheesecake its amazing flavor! Chai masala is a blend of aromatic spices like green cardamom, cloves, dried ginger powder, fennel seeds, nutmeg, cinnamon, and black peppercorns. You can get this easily in Indian grocery stores or large supermarkets, or make your own using my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tashasartisanfoods.com\/blog\/homemade-chai-masala\/\">homemade chai masala recipe<\/a>. You can add saffron, lemongrass, or dried rose petals too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Please see the recipe card below for full information about the ingredients and quantities.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group taf-postsec taf-postsec-howto is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 id=\"h-how-to-make-masala-chai-basque-cheesecake\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How To Make Masala Chai Basque Cheesecake<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-recipe-video\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Recipe Video<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"adthrive-video-player in-post\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\" data-video-id=\"wQTkjdoz\" data-player-type=\"default\" orientation=\"vertical\" override-embed=\"default\">\n\t\t\t<meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2026-10-25T13:23:05+00:00\" \/>\n\t\t<meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"Masala Chai Basque Cheesecake Recipe Video\" \/>\n\t\t<meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"If you love masala chai, you&#039;ll want to try this masala chai Basque cheesecake!

This helps the ingredients to blend easily and gives a smooth batter.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cool the cream and masala chai mixture completely before adding it to the cream cheese batter.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Feel free to use black tea bags instead of loose tea leaves. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The hot cream thickens as it cools, making it difficult to strain. Reheat it briefly before straining. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use a metal strainer or cheesecloth to strain the masala chai cream.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Always line your cake pan with one or two sheets of baking paper. The paper should be bigger than your baking pan. I use one large piece of parchment paper. Scrunch up the parchment paper and use it to line the cake pan. Don't worry about the creases in the paper. They help give the chai Basque cheesecake a rustic look.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I used a 6-inch springform cake pan. You can also make this in an 8-inch cake pan, but the cake will be a bit flatter and the baking time will be reduced by a few minutes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Always weigh your ingredients using a kitchen scale for better and consistent results!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1349\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tashasartisanfoods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Masala-Chai-Basque-Cheesecake-12.jpg\" alt=\"A slice of cheesecake on a cake server.\" class=\"wp-image-52312\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tashasartisanfoods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Masala-Chai-Basque-Cheesecake-12.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.tashasartisanfoods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Masala-Chai-Basque-Cheesecake-12-267x300.jpg 267w, https:\/\/www.tashasartisanfoods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Masala-Chai-Basque-Cheesecake-12-911x1024.jpg 911w, https:\/\/www.tashasartisanfoods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Masala-Chai-Basque-Cheesecake-12-133x150.jpg 133w, https:\/\/www.tashasartisanfoods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Masala-Chai-Basque-Cheesecake-12-768x863.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tashasartisanfoods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Masala-Chai-Basque-Cheesecake-12-150x169.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 728px) 100vw, 728px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group taf-postsec taf-postsec-serve is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 id=\"h-how-to-serve\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How To Serve <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This masala chai Basque cheesecake is wonderful on its own.

Unlike traditional cheesecake, it doesn't need a water bath or low temperature.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-taf-skeleton-2\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I use tea bags instead of loose tea leaves?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes, you can use 3 black tea bags instead of 2 tablespoons of loose tea leaves called for in this recipe.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-taf-skeleton-3\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">When is the chai Basque cheesecake done?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">You\u2019ll know the chai Basque cheesecake is ready when the top is dark brown, the edges are set, and the center still has a slight jiggle.\u00a0The cheesecake will continue to set as it cools and chills. Avoid baking it till its center is completely firm, as it can affect its soft, creamy texture.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group taf-postsec taf-postsec-more

Reheat it briefly before straining.<\/li>\n<li>Use a metal strainer or cheesecloth to strain the masala chai cream.<\/li>\n<li>Always line your cake pan with one or two sheets of baking paper. The paper should be bigger than your baking pan. I use one large piece of parchment paper. Scrunch up the parchment paper and use it to line the cake pan. Don't worry about the creases in the paper. They help give the cheesecake a rustic look.<\/li>\n<li>I used a 6-inch springform cake pan. You can also make this in an 8-inch cake pan, but the cake will be a bit flatter and the baking time will be reduced by a few minutes.<\/li>\n<li>Always weigh your ingredients using a kitchen scale
