San Sebastian Cheesecake

In this class, we’ll be making San Sebastian Cheesecake – a beautifully browned top, and a soft, creamy center. We’ll focus on technique, temperature, and knowing exactly when to take it out of the oven.

To finish things off, we’ll also prepare a rich gianduja sauce made with chocolate and hazelnuts.

Program

During the class, we’ll cover:

• Preparing the mixture – choosing the right ingredients, proper mixing techniques, and achieving a smooth, uniform texture without incorporating air.

• Baking – working with high temperatures, caramelizing the surface, and keeping the center perfectly creamy.

• Gianduja sauce – preparing a smooth, rich chocolate-hazelnut sauce with a deep, nutty flavor.

• Finishing touches – plating, combining textures, and, of course, tasting the results.
