How to make Canarian Cheesecake
Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 1 can condensed milk
- 1 can evaporated milk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup sugar (for caramel)
- 1 cup water (for caramel)
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Feel that surge of excitement? That’s your culinary adventure kicking off!
- Grab a saucepan and let’s get down to caramel business! Melt the sugar and water over medium heat, stirring occasionally until it transforms into a captivating golden brown. Channel your inner alchemist! Carefully pour this liquid gold into a round baking dish, tilting it to coat the bottom and sides.
- Time to whisk it up! In a blender, combine your eggs, condensed milk, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract. Blend until you achieve a silky-smooth elixir—let the magic happen!
- Gently pour your creamy egg mixture over the caramel in the baking dish. Feel free to watch it swirl and dance; it’s a show all on its own!
- Now, this step is fancy but oh-so-important! Place your baking dish in a larger baking pan, creating a bain-marie (fancy French for water bath). Add water to the outer pan—it’s like giving your cheesecake a spa day!
- Bake for about 50-60 minutes, or until set. The aroma wafting through your kitchen will have them lining up with forks in hand, I promise!
- Once baked, let your cheesecake cool — but be patient! The real treat is worth the wait. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving. When you’re ready to present it, invert onto a plate and voilà—your masterpiece is ready to steal the spotlight!

Tips to make Canarian Cheesecake
- Want that caramel to be perfectly smooth? Make sure you don’t stir once the sugar starts melting! Let it bubble and work its magic.
- Looking for an even creamier texture? Blend an extra minute or two—smooth is the name of the game!
- For added crunch and flavor, consider sprinkling some crushed nuts or a pinch of sea salt on top before serving—just a hint of adventure!
Variations
Feeling adventurous? Swap half of the evaporated milk with coconut milk for a tropical twist! Or, mix in a splash of orange zest for a zesty kick that dances with the sweetness.
FAQs
Q: Can I use regular milk instead of evaporated milk?
A: Absolutely, but the texture won’t be quite as rich. Evaporated milk adds a creaminess that’s hard to beat!
Q: Why do I need a bain-marie?
A: It’s the secret weapon for achieving that luscious, silky texture — it prevents your cheesecake from drying out or cracking as it bakes. Trust me, your cheesecake will thank you!
Q: Can I make this cheesecake ahead of time?
A: Yes! This cheesecake is a superstar for meal prep. Just make it a day or two in advance, and let it chill out in the fridge until it’s showtime.
