My Basque cheesecake came out pale instead of that beautiful brown color. What could have gone wrong? Did I miss a step or use the wrong temperature? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hey, sorry to hear! Your cheesecake might need a bit more time or a higher temp, try broiling it for a few minutes to get that awesome brown color!My Basque cheesecake came out pale instead of that beautiful brown color.

Your Basque cheesecake might not be turning brown if it’s not baking at a high enough temperature, if it's too moist, or if it's not left in the oven long enough; ensure you bake it at a high temperature (around 400°F or 200°C) and let it cook until the top is deeply caramelized and the center is set.
