Miso Caramel Corn Basque Cheesecake

sweet salty umami besto.

Of course my first recipe here had to have miso in it! I rarely ever say this about my own recipes but I’m so proud of this one. This cheesecake was a menu item for my popup at Next Door Restaurant a few weeks ago and had such great feedback. I think almost everyone that purchased a sliced DM’ed me just to tell me how much they enjoyed it and I was giddy the entire weekend. 🥹

So if you’re a die-hard fan of miso and corn, this Miso Caramel Corn Basque Cheesecake is like a dirty little secret—sinfully indulgent and absolutely unforgettable. Imagine the salty, umami punch of miso x rich, buttery sweetness of caramel x the naturally sweet milky corn(!!). This cheesecake is faaar from basic; it’s got layers of complexity that’ll have you coming back for more. It's a decadent, creamy masterpiece that flirts with danger—sweet, savory, and so damn irresistible.
