While a springform pan is recommended for making Basque Cheesecake due to its ease of removal and ability to accommodate the dessert's unique texture, it is possible to use alternative bakeware. If a springform pan is not available, you can use a deep round cake pan lined with baking paper, ensuring that the paper extends above the pan's edges for easy removal. Keep in mind that the final presentation and ease of serving may vary depending on the type of pan used.
