Melting Basque Cheesecake by G7 Summit 2023 Executive Chef

From the mind of Takashi Suzuki, the owner and chef of Patisserie Bell, they have vast experience in this field as an executive pastry chef at a 5-star hotel with numerous recipes under their belt.

Through lots of trial and error they were able to come up with the perfect creation of this Basque cheesecake.
Presented as a dessert at the 2023 G7 Summit in Hiroshima where the top world leaders get together, it is a testament to the quality and remarkable taste of the cheesecake.
With each one handmade to perfection, their Basque cheesecake is specially characterised by its melting texture.

The exceptional melting texture is achieved by adjusting the oven temperatures and baking times during the creation process.
There was a long experimentation period to discover the right oven temperatures and timings for the baking, however after numerous prototypes it ended up flawless.
This way, the outer surface of the cake has a satisfying crisp before diving into the core where it is creamy and smoothly melts away in your mouth.
The contrast in texture from the outside to inner layers of the dessert make it an enjoyable eat, and the slight bitterness on top pairs excellently with the sweetness of the cheesecake.
