Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs (900g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 3/4 cups (350g) granulated sugar
- 5 large eggs
- 2 cups (480ml) heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper, ensuring it extends well above the rim. Crumple the paper for a more rustic look and better adherence to the sides.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Stir in the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt until just combined.
- Sift in the flour and gently fold it into the batter until no lumps remain. Do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the top is deeply browned and the center is still slightly jiggly.
- Let the cheesecake cool completely in the pan before refrigerating for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Carefully remove the cheesecake from the pan and parchment paper before serving.
Notes
Serve chilled or at room temperature. A dusting of powdered sugar or a side of fresh berries complements the caramelized flavor beautifully.
