Best Cheesecake in Dubai
Cheesecake has become one of Dubai's most popular dessert orders, and the city's cafes and dessert shops have elevated it well beyond the standard slice. The Basque burnt cheesecake — intentionally darkened on the exterior, producing a caramelised bitterness that contrasts with the custardy, barely set interior — has been particularly popular. New York-style dense cheesecake on a biscuit base remains a consistent favourite.

Cheesecake Styles in Dubai
New York-style cheesecake — dense, cream cheese-based, on a graham cracker crust, served chilled — is the most recognisable style in Dubai. The best versions have a very smooth, rich texture with a subtle tang from the cream cheese.
Basque-style cheesecake has become the trendy alternative. Made without a crust, baked at high temperature to achieve a deeply caramelised top, and served at room temperature or slightly warm. Japanese-style cheesecake — light, almost soufflé-like — is available at several Japanese and fusion cafes.
