Ingredients
Cheesecake Base
- 1.5 cups cream cheese, softened (Make sure cream cheese is softened for smooth mixing.)
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature (Room-temperature eggs mix in smoothly.)
- 0.75 cups heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon salt (A pinch of salt enhances flavor.)
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (Helps the cheesecake to set.)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Line a loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
- In a mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
- Incorporate the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Add heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt; blend until smooth.
- Sift in flour and fold gently until just combined.
Baking
- Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and tap it lightly to release air bubbles.
- Bake for 40–45 minutes until the top is golden brown and slightly jiggly in the center.
Cooling
- Allow to cool at room temperature before refrigerating for at least four hours or overnight.
Notes
Serve slices thick with a dusting of powdered sugar or fresh berries. It keeps well in the fridge for 4-5 days and can be frozen for later enjoyment.
