The almond cheesecake San Sebastián is an elegant dessert, inspired by the traditional Basque cheesecake from Spain. Baking without a cookie or pastry base at high temperature for a short time gives the cheese mass a unique creamy texture. It is prepared with Philadelphia cream cheese with a delicate vanilla aroma and decorated with crispy almond flakes that add a nutty accent and textural contrast. This dessert is made with gluten-free products.

The cheesecake has no traditional base, a feature of the Basque style, highlighting the purity of the cheese mass flavor.
