How can I tell when my Basque cheesecake is fully cooked?

How do you guys know when your Basque cheesecake is perfectly cooked? I don't want to end up with an undercooked or overbaked one. Any signs or tricks to look out for? Thanks in advance for the tips!

The top of the Basque cheesecake should be dark brown to almost black, with some areas even charred. This characteristic burnt appearance is intentional and adds to the flavor profile of the cake.

Basque cheesecake is done when the edges are golden brown and the center is slightly jiggly, but it will set as it cools.

Look for a deep golden top with a slight jiggle in the center! It’ll set as it cools.
