Finally, a basque cheesecake that actually looks creamy and custardy instead of dry and crumbly.

Looks amazing, though I'll confess when basque cheesecake is actually done correctly I don't need any accoutrements with it

Sounds tasty, but never in my life have I had cheesecake with a side of icecream…

U have a legit newbie question. Aren't all Basque cheesecakes burnt? Hence, is the title redundant?

Two dairy-based components as the largest two things on the plate?

Rethink the ice cream. The cheesecake should be able to stand on its own without the need for crutches.

I would eat the shit out of that.

looks and sounds delicious. my only critique is thats a lot of dessert. i would maybe do a smaller piece of cheese cake (smaller radius and thinner slice).

Isn’t the cheesecake the main component here? I think removing the other parts makes more sense than thinning out the main event

I am so lazy with my desserts I don't bother with all of the extra garnishes but this looks super nice. Perhaps a little teaspoon quenelle of ice cream not a scoop tho
