The recipe is open for you to change, add, subtract and we'll all love to hear how you made it your own. We'll also get to talk about the highs and lows of cooking the recipe, what went well and what went wrong.The Reddit Live Talk will take place on Saturday 26th February at 12noon PST / 8pm UTCThe Live Talk will be an hour long but we may extend that based on turnout.If you cannot make the talk but want to take part then please post a comment with how it went, what you did, also post to the sub and link it. We'll read out your experiences in the talk for you! If you don't want to speak, but can attend the date and time, you can join us and use the comment section when the Talk goes live. Please use the Poll to let us know how you'll attend.---Molly Baz's Burnt Basque Cheesecake Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVwPO7GY8MYMakes one 10" cakeIngredients:Unsalted butter (for pan)2 lb. cream cheese, room temperature1½ cups sugar6 large eggs2 cups heavy cream1 tsp. kosher salt1 tsp. vanilla extract⅓ cup all-purpose flourSPECIAL EQUIPMENT: A 10"-diameter springform pan---Preparation:Step 1Place a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 400°. Butter pan, then line with 2 overlapping 16x12" sheets of parchment, making sure parchment comes at least 2" above top of pan on all sides. Because the parchment needs to be pleated and creased in some areas to fit in pan, you won’t end up with a clean, smooth outer edge to the cake; that’s okay! Place pan on a rimmed baking sheet.Step 2Beat cream cheese and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium-low speed, scraping down sides of bowl, until very smooth, no lumps remain, and sugar has dissolved, about 2 minutes.Step 3Increase speed to medium and add eggs one at a time, beating each egg 15 seconds before adding the next. Scrape down sides of bowl, then reduce mixer speed to medium-low. Add cream, salt, and vanilla and beat until combined, about 30 seconds.Step 4Turn off mixer and sift flour evenly over cream cheese mixture using a fine-mesh sieve. Beat on low speed until incorporated, about 15 seconds. Scrape down sides of bowl (yet again) and continue to beat until batter is very smooth, homogenous, and silky, about 10 seconds.Step 5Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake cheesecake until deeply golden brown on top and still very jiggly in the center, 60–65 minutes.Step 6Let cool slightly (it will fall drastically as it cools), then unmold. Let cool completely. Carefully peel away parchment from sides of cheesecake. Slice into wedges and serve at room temperature, preferably with a glass of sherry alongside.Do Ahead: Cheesecake be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Be sure to let cheesecake sit for several hours at room temperature to remove chill before serving.---Molly Baz's Burnt Basque Cheesecake Recipe Source: https://ift.tt/gEYxcVd Poll
