Funny anecdote
I once made this cake and thought it was undercooked because it was wobbly when I took it out of the oven, so I put it back in for another 20 minutes… I ended up with a “brick cheesecake”!
Since then, I know it should be wobbly when it comes out: it settles as it cools.
Conclusion
La Viña Cheesecake is a simple, elegant, and world-famous dessert. With its creamy texture and caramelized top, it’s perfect for any special occasion or for impressing your guests.
