With its deeply caramelised top and creamy pistachio-spiked centre, this Basque cheesecake recipe is made for festive entertaining. Better still, it needs to be prepared ahead, making it the perfect Christmas dessert to tick off your list before the celebrations begin. Serve straight from the fridge with our Collection cherries in kirsch spooned over the top.
