Creamy Cheesecakes in Bengaluru

When I started baking, I knew I couldn't compromise on the density of a good cheesecake. My San Sebastian-style Burnt Basque is a personal favourite; it is intentionally crustless, allowing that caramelized, almost burnt top to melt right into the super creamy, custard-like center. I serve it with my own dark chocolate ganache, which I think balances the richness perfectly.

If you prefer a traditional bite, my classic baked cheesecake slices are built on a buttery digestive biscuit base that holds up under the weight of the filling. I change up the toppings based on what's in season—during the summer, you’ll find them finished with a thick, house-made Alphonso mango coulis, and when strawberries are at their peak, I go with that. For the crowd-pleasers, I always keep the Lotus Biscoff loaded slices ready, where the crunch of the spread meets the smooth, baked cheesecake layer.

I prepare these in small batches right here in New BEL Road. Because I steer clear of synthetic cream and gelatin stabilisers, these aren't the kind of cakes that sit in a freezer for weeks. They are soft, rich, and designed to be enjoyed at room temperature or slightly chilled. If you’re planning a dessert spread or just need a treat for one, these slices give you that gourmet experience without any of the fake stuff.
