It’s been a year since Basque cheesecakes gained momentum alongside other pandemic food trends such as the Dalgona coffee and sushi bake—and they don’t seem to be going anywhere anytime soon. Recognised for its incredibly creamy texture and blackened top that gives a caramelised flavour, this iconic cake is a heavenly creation that will even delight people who aren’t that into dessert.
Some of the city’s most scrumptious Basque cheesecakes are served right here at Hemma—a local bakery that boasts in using the finest ingredients—such as premium Japanese eggs and a generous amount of vanilla, to offer a distinctly rich flavour profile. Aside from the classic one, a wide range of flavour options including matcha, earl grey tea, Oreo cookie, rum and raisin are also available here.
