Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon 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 extend above the edges of the pan for easy removal later.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the heavy cream, eggs, vanilla extract, flour, and salt to the bowl. Mix until all ingredients are well combined and the batter is smooth.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is deeply browned and the center is slightly jiggly.
  6. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for an additional 10 minutes.
  7. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool at room temperature for about 1 hour. Then, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
  8. To serve, carefully lift the cheesecake out of the pan using the parchment paper and slice into wedges.
