Description

A rich, creamy cheesecake with a caramelized top and a smooth, custard-like center.


Ingredients

  • 900g cream cheese, softened
  • 300g granulated sugar
  • 6 large eggs
  • 480ml heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 30g all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F). Line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. Stir in heavy cream and vanilla extract.
  5. Sift in flour and salt, then mix until just combined.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50-55 minutes until deeply browned.
  7. Let cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.

Notes

  • The cheesecake will be jiggly when hot but firms up as it cools.
  • Use high-fat cream cheese for the best texture.
  • Do not overbake—the center should remain creamy.
