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 edges of the pan for easy removal later.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the heavy cream, eggs, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture. Mix until well combined.
  4. Sift in the flour and salt, then mix until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is deeply browned and the center is still slightly jiggly.
  7. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for an additional 10 minutes.
  8. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, try adding a tablespoon of lemon juice or zest to the batter.
  • You can also top the cheesecake with fresh berries or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for an extra touch.
  • If you prefer a gluten-free version, simply omit the flour or substitute it with a gluten-free flour blend.
