If you have been looking for a healthier way of making doughnuts, this recipe is for you. Air-fried and dusted in cinnamon-sugar or dipped in a glaze--all the flavors are there, but the calories of frying are not!
Basque Cheesecake
Basque cheesecake, also known as burnt Basque cheesecake, is made by baking the cheesecake in a very hot oven to deliver a beautiful, dark exterior full of bittersweet notes that complements the creamy light interior. I adapted the original recipe to fit a standard cake pan rather than the large springform pan used in the original. I rarely post a trendy recipe while it's still trendy, but this cheesecake method deserves the hype and is just plain easier — just remember the parchment paper.
