Basque burnt cheesecakes took Singapore by storm last year, appearing on every social media feed possible. Though this dessert is not your usual classic cheesecake, it’s gained a cult following for good reason. The basque burnt cheesecake takes things a little further – with its burnt top that almost looks like a mistake, crunchy sides, and the gooey textured centre, it’s truly a taste of heaven.

Originating from Basque Country, this trend has made its way to our tiny, sunny island, with many local online bakeries and patisseries trying to recreate their own version of this delectable dessert. Here’s where to find some of the best basque burnt cheesecakes this island has to offer.

Paparch

It would be a crime not to add Paparch to our list. Believe it or not, Paparch’s basque burnt cheesecakes are so sought-after, they are sold out within minutes after each of its monthly drops. Around 320 cakes (worth $60 each) are available per drop, and more than 1,000 comments are usually left on its social media posts from keen customers attempting to reserve a cake of their own.

Paparch is Muslim-owned, and the chef uses only 100% Halal ingredients for his basque burnt cheesecakes, which are the only items on the menu. Baked to perfection, the sweet, melted centre of this dreamy creation will leave you craving for more.

Slots are released here, although both August and September slots are full as of now.
