For those unfamiliar, a Basque cheesecake differs from a New York-style cheesecake in that this interior isn't smooth or dense. Instead, a Basque cheesecake – which hails from Spain – is baked at a high temperature to give it a rich, gooey interior and then scorched and caramelized on the top to achieve its signature burnt crust. The Cheesecake Factory's take on a Classic Basque Cheesecake sticks to this recipe but then adds [fresh strawberries, blueberries, and whipped cream](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crumbl-strawberry-summer) on top. The Classic Basque Cheesecake will make its debut on National Cheesecake Day, which falls on July 30, 2022.
