What is a Burnt Basque Cheesecake?

A Basque-style cheesecake is baked at high temperature until the exterior turns deeply caramelised and almost bitter, while the centre stays soft, molten and custard-like rather than firm. Our Ube Burnt Basque Cheesecake is Mooies' refined take on that style, flavoured with real ube.

What does it taste like?

It opens with caramelised bitterness from the burnt exterior, moves into a smooth, creamy custard richness, and finishes with gentle ube sweetness and subtle earthy notes.

Is the centre meant to be soft?

Yes. The centre is intentionally molten-soft, fluid and custard-like, rather than set firm. That contrast between the caramelised crust and the soft centre is the point of a Basque-style cheesecake.

Is it made with real ube?

Yes. The flavour is anchored by real ube, which brings its natural earthy, floral sweetness and distinctive violet hue directly into the custard.

What sizes are available?

The 5" is an individual size, ideal for a personal treat or a considered gift. The 6" suits a small gathering of two or three. The 8" to 12" sizes offer the full Mooies experience, for weddings, corporate events and larger celebrations.

Do you deliver the Ube Burnt Basque Cheesecake in London and across the UK?

Yes. We deliver across London and ship chilled to addresses across the UK. Delivery options and cut-off times are shown at checkout.

Is it a good cake for a wedding or corporate event?

Yes. The 8" to 12" sizes are designed for larger celebrations, including weddings and corporate events. Message our concierge to discuss your occasion.

How is this different from your Ube Chiffon Cake?

The Ube Chiffon Cake is a light, layered chiffon sponge finished with whipped ube cream. The Ube Burnt Basque Cheesecake is a dense, custard-style cheesecake with a caramelised exterior and a soft, molten centre. Both are flavoured with real ube, but the texture and style are quite different.

Product Description

Ube Burnt Basque Cheesecake

This Ube Burnt Basque Cheesecake is Mooies’ refined take on the iconic Basque-style cheesecake, defined by contrast, restraint, and depth of flavour.

Baked at high temperatures, the exterior develops a deeply caramelised, almost brûléed crust, dark, glossy, and delicately bitter in all the right ways. Beneath it lies a molten-soft centre, rich, creamy, and custard-like, designed to melt slowly on the palate rather than set firmly.

The flavour is anchored by real ube, prized for its naturally earthy, floral sweetness and distinctive violet hue. Integrated directly into the custard, the ube brings balance rather than dominance, softening the richness of the cream cheese while adding warmth and complexity.

This is not a dense or heavy cheesecake. It is intentionally light in structure, fluid at the centre, and deeply satisfying without excess sweetness.

Choosing Your Size

Our 5″ is an individual size, perfect for a personal treat or a considered gift. Our 6″ suits a small gathering of two or three. For weddings, corporate events, and larger celebrations, our 8″ to 12″ sizes offer the full Mooies experience.

Flavour progression is deliberate:

First impression: caramelised bitterness from the burnt exterior
Then: smooth, creamy custard richness
Finish: gentle ube sweetness with subtle earthy notes

Each slice offers contrast, crisp against soft, dark against delicate, creating a cheesecake that feels modern, elegant, and quietly indulgent.

This cheesecake is designed for those who appreciate nuance over novelty, perfect for intimate dinners, considered gifting, and moments where dessert is meant to be remembered.
