Scale
Cheesecake:
- 1 1/2 cups cream cheese, softened (full-fat)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang.
- Prepare cheesecake batter: In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt. Sift in flour and fold gently to combine.
- Bake the cheesecake: Pour the batter into the loaf pan, tap to release air bubbles, and bake for 40–45 minutes until the top is golden and the center jiggles slightly.
- Cool and refrigerate: Let the cheesecake cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before slicing.
