Orange Basque Cheesecake
This orange Basque cheesecake is a riff on my burnt Basque cheesecake. Made with caramelized oranges, it has a fresh, beautiful flavor, with the nearly burnt top matching rhythm to rhythm with orange zest and the velvety crumb.

Ingredients
400
gms
Cream cheese softened
3/4
cup / 170 gms
Caster sugar
2
Eggs
1
tsp
Vanilla extract
1/3
cup/ 90 gms
Greek yogurt
1/4
cup/ 31 gms
All-purpose flour
4-5
tbsp
Candied oranges diced
1
tsp
All-purpose flour
Zest of 1 orange
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200C.
Line your baking pan with parchment paper. Make sure the paper comes at least 2" above the sides of the pan.
In a large bowl, beat together the cream cheese and sugar, until the cream cheese is creamy and sugar is dissolved.
Add the eggs, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and flour.
Whisk until smooth. Add orange zest.
Toss the candied oranges with 1 tsp of flour and add to the batter.
Mix well and pour into the prepared pan and bake for 55-60 minutes at 200 C, until the cake is browned on top, but still jiggly in the center.
Let the cake cool in the partially open oven for 30-40 minutes, then transfer to the refrigerator for it to set completely, for about 8-10 hours.
Gently remove the cake from the pan and peel the parchment paper away from the cake. Serve cold or at room temperature. Enjoy!
