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 springform pan with parchment paper, allowing the paper to extend above the rim of the pan for easy removal later.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  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 the flour and salt into the mixture, then mix on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared springform 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. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for another 30 minutes to cool gradually.
  9. Remove from the oven and let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
