This Elegant, Lush Cheesecake Will Obsess You
Cheesecakes by Chele releases it's new dessert, the Tarta de Queso
Hello there, dessert lover! If you love the classic Burnt Basque Cheesecake, then you’ll definitely adore it’s cool new sibling, the Tarta de Queso. It's the new dessert from Cheesecake by Chele.
A pandemic viral hit, the Burnt Basque Cheesecake was born in the Basque region of Spain, in a tiny seaside restaurant called La Viña. This absurdly irresistible dessert has distinctive burnt top that turns dense and creamy inside. Eating it is a dance of bittersweet caramel flavors that meld into delightful cheesy notes.
In Manila, one of the best Burnt Basque Cheesecakes came from Chef Chele’s Kitchen, the homegrown business launched by celebrated Spanish chef Chele Gonzalez and his wife Teri Gonzalez. Chef Chele’s Kitchen launched the Basque cheesecakes in 2020 and it has consistently made the lists of the best desserts and best cheesecakes in town.
Well, this time the Gonzalezes have launched a brand new dessert inspired by their popular cheesecake. Meet the Tarta de Queso. Also very much a Spanish-style cheesecake, this is gooey yet delicate dessert that is just as irresistible and addicting as the OG cheesecake. But with distinct differences. Let’s compare;
The OG Basque cheesecake is robust and rustic with a burnished burnt top, strong notes of caramel and a creamy center.
Tarta de Queso is lush and elegant, pale in color, with a gooey center that is very cheese-forward. Made with a mix of three cheeses, it is perfect with a glass of bubbly.
Whether you're into like the OG Burnt Basque Cheesecake or its sultrier sibling, these are the perfect desserts to serve at your parties this coming yule season.
