Ingredients
- 500 grams cream cheese softened
- 200 grams sugar
- 5 eggs large
- 300 ml heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour sifted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 210°C (410°F). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line it with parchment paper, ensuring the paper extends at least 2 inches above the rim of the pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Make sure the mixture is well combined before adding the next egg.
- Pour in the heavy cream and mix until smooth. Add the sifted flour and vanilla extract, and mix until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 60 minutes, or until the top is a deep golden brown and the center is still slightly jiggly.
- Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool in the pan. Once completely cool, remove from the pan and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
