Help! Why isn't my Basque cheesecake turning brown?

[otterlyslick]

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! Hope this helps!

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.
