From classic to creamy to traditional, this is the ultimate comfort food for cheesy dessert lovers — the humble cheesecake!
With a recent resurgence in the form of Basque Burnt Cheesecakes, they may not look like much but are a flavour bomb when you take a bite! Here are the top 5 bakeries specialising in the best cheesecakes this island has to offer, if you know where to look!
It’s gooey, rich and creamy, savoury and sweet, it’s really the ultimate indulgence. Whatever your preferences, we’ve got you covered!
Among all the artisan and mainstream confectionery brands, Cat and the Fiddle stands out for being one of the most accessible cheesecake brands in Singapore!
Helmed by award-winning patissier Daniel Tay, who’d previously founded Bakerzin, they have a mind-boggling variety of cheesecakes such as Yuan Yang Cheesecake, Milo Cheesecake, and the more exotic Roselle Yoghurt Cheesecake & Durian Burnt Basque Cheesecake. If you’re looking to sink your teeth into multiple flavours, they have a popular sampler box of 8 randomly picked flavours to satisfy your curiosity!
You may either place your order on their website for delivery, or head down to any of their 8 locations island-wide to handpick your own cheesecakes.
A home baker turned retail success, Bakery Brera offers a whole host of baked goods such as rustic sourdoughs, cruffins, brownies and Danishes just to name a few. Their Basque Burnt Cheesecake has also gathered quite a bit of popularity, with an adequate amount of richness in the cream cheese, plus melt-in-your-mouth gooeyness for the creamiest mouthfeel. Astute foodies have also pointed out a faint hint of rum, for a little daytime kick that cuts through the ‘jelak’ cheese.
This article is practically an homage to the OG Basque Burnt Cheesecake that started the whole craze! We heard that there’s even a months-long waiting list to order from Paparach.
Proudly Muslim-owned & Halal, they boast a whopping 51k followers on its Instagram account. At this point, their brand is practically synonymous with cheesecakes! We recommend following their Instagram account and even switching on notifications to get first dibs when their monthly slots open up.
As for the cheesecake itself: an outer crust that has just the right amount of burnt char that borders on caramelly, the heart is a sweet, creamy & melty texture. With a minimal repertoire of Original, Matcha, & Berries flavour, this shows just how confident they are in their creations!
The lovechild of baker duo Francesco and Jaz-ley during the Circuit-Breaker period, The Whisking Well is known for their hand-crafted burnt-top cheesecakes. Borne out of relentless experimentation, their flavour repertoire vary from fan favourites like Mixed Berry Jam Drop, Rose & Chocolate to novel iterations like the Pizza Burnt Cheesecake and Mao Shan Wang durian version.
Kindly note that deliveries are only made on Wednesdays through Sundays.
Rounding off this list with a Japanese twist, LeTAO’s cheesecakes are made in Hokkaido and air flown to Singapore. Unlike conventional cheesecakes, this boasts a dreamy, creamy texture that’s actually light and airy rather than dense and rich.
Bestsellers include the double fromage and chocolate double cheesecakes, with the aforementioned made from premium Italian mascarpone cheese and topped off with powdery Parmesan cheese – it’ll simply melt in your mouth like snow!
