Basque Cheesecake is a famous type of Cheesecake that Originates from the Spanish/French Basque Country. A delicious crustless cheesecake that is light, creamy and has a delicious unique flavor. Here is how its done.
Prepare the baking form, at a dab of vegetable oil into the baking form and spread it evenly around the base and sides. This will help the baking paper stick to the form easier and will also bake the caramelized crust. Now place two sheets of baking paper and press them into the form one at a time. Try to add the second sheet at a 90 degree angle so you have baking paper corners evenly sticking out of the form, it looks a lot better :) Set aside and go to the next step.
In a large bowl or stand mixer bowl, whisk the cream cheese until soft and creamy. Now add the sugar and whisk for another 20-30 seconds until well combined.

While whisking add the egg's one at a time. Make sure you don't get any egg shell into the batter and wait until each egg is combined before adding the next one.

Whisk in the heavy cream and vanilla extract. Stop using your hand or stand mixer once you are finished with the heavy cream and vanilla extract. Sift the flour into the cream and mix it in using a rubber spatula. Don't over mix.
Pour the batter into the lined baking pan, place in the center of the preheated oven and bake for 40-50 minutes depending on how you want the cheesecake. 35-40 minutes = runny in the center (Authentic)40-50 minutes = fully baked and still bloody amazing :D
Cool for one hour outside of the fridge and 2-8 hours in the fridge for the ultimate flavor and texture.
