If you love the flavour of earl grey tea, you have to try this recipe. The creamy Basque burnt cheesecake and the hint of earl grey tea really complement each other.
I also added some cream and Biscoff as I think they fit perfectly with the cake, but this is optional of course, as the cake itself is already amazing as it is.
