15-Min Burnt Basque Cheesecake

Ingredients

• 16 oz cream cheese, cold
• ½ cup heavy cream, cold
• ½ cup sweetened condensed milk
• 1 whole egg yolk
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp granulated sugar (for torching)

Instructions

1. 1

   Add cream cheese, heavy cream, and condensed milk to a blender. Pulse until smooth, ~45 seconds.

2. 2

   Add egg yolk and vanilla extract. Pulse again until completely smooth, no lumps visible.

3. 3

   Divide mixture evenly between 4 ramekins (or one small shallow baking dish). Smooth the tops with a spatula.

4. 4

   Sprinkle 1 tsp sugar over the top of each ramekin, covering the surface evenly.

5. 5

   Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until it turns deep amber and crackles slightly, ~90 seconds per ramekin.

6. 6

   Let cool 2 minutes, then serve immediately while the burnt top is still crackling.
