Basque Burnt Cheesecake

The famous crustless cheesecake from San Sebastián: a simple batter of cream cheese, sugar, cream, eggs and a little flour baked in a very hot oven in a parchment-lined pan until the top is deeply caramelized, almost burnt, and the center stays creamy and custardy. It puffs dramatically, then sinks into rustic, crinkled edges.
