At-home pizza ovens offer versatility beyond pizzas, allowing for various cooking options, including desserts. Burnt Basque cheesecake, characterized by its lack of crust and caramelized top, can be perfectly made in a pizza oven due to its high, even heat. This dessert contrasts a rich interior with a dark exterior. The preparation involves simple ingredients mixed and poured into a springform or loaf pan, then cooked at high temperatures that contribute to its unique flavor profile. Cooking it in a pizza oven results in a beautifully browned surface and firm texture.
No matter how much you love pizza, it might seem a little extra to add an entire appliance to your backyard that can only make one dish - or so you thought.
The high, all-around heat of a pizza oven helps the tops and sides of the cheesecake caramelize beautifully, resulting in the deep, dark brown color that you look for in this dessert.
This dish is super easy to make in the pizza oven. It's basically like making basic cheesecake filling; you'll need cream cheese, eggs, sugar, heavy cream, vanilla extract, salt, and a bit of flour.
Preheat your pizza oven to a temperature somewhere between 662 degrees and 788 degrees Fahrenheit, depending on how burned you want the top to get.
