5. What's the difference between New York cheesecake and Basque burnt cheesecake?
A: The main differences between New York cheesecake and Basque cheesecake are in their texture, flavor, and baking method.
New York cheesecake typically has a graham cracker crust and is baked at a lower temperature for a longer time, resulting in a smooth, creamy texture. The flavor is often vanilla and is not burnt on the surface. New York cheesecake is also typically served chilled.
Basque cheesecake, on the other hand, is crustless and baked at a high temperature for a shorter time, resulting in a caramelized and burnt top and a dense, creamy texture. The flavor is a combination of sweet and tangy. Basque cheesecake is usually served at room temperature.
