Trader Joe's Basque Style Cheesecakes just landed at $4.99 for 2 cakes, 5.63 oz. For $4.99 you get two restaurant-menu desserts with zero prep beyond thawing. The strongest value on the dessert list.
What is it?
Two individual frozen cheesecakes made in Spain in the Basque style: no crust, no topping, a deliberately burnished top, and a soft, custardy center. The base is a cultured cheese spread with egg, cream, and sugar. They are gluten free. The style dates to a San Sebastián restaurant in the late 1980s, where limited kitchen space led to the crustless, high-heat method.
