Equipment

Ingredients
 
 

  • 16 oz cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • pinch of salt
  • 3 eggs large
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp AP flour
  • 1 tbsp soft butter to grease the pan

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Add the cream cheese and sugar to a mixing bowl. Mix on high for 4-5 minutes until creamy and silky.
  • Slowly incorporate the heavy cream into the batter.
  • Add one egg at a time, allowing it to incorporate before adding the next.
  • Mix in the salt and the vanilla.
  • Use a fine mesh sieve to sift the flour over the top of the batter. Mix to just combine.
  • Butter the spring form so the parchment paper can stick to the pan.
  • Line a 7" springform pan with two pieces of parchment paper allowing it to overhang the top.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan.
  • Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the top is deeply bronzed. The brown top means it is done.
  • Allow the cheesecake to cool completely. Refrigerate overnight before cutting.
  • Enjoy!
