Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper, allowing the paper to hang over the edges for easy removal later.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
  3. Gradually add the granulated sugar, mixing until well combined and fluffy.
  4. Add the heavy cream, eggs, and vanilla extract to the mixture. Beat until fully incorporated.
  5. Sift in the flour and salt, then mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is deeply browned and the center is slightly jiggly.
  8. Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. Then, carefully lift the cheesecake out using the parchment paper and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
  9. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
