Ingredients
  

For the Cheesecake
  • 16 oz Cream Cheese full-fat, Philadelphia recommended
  • 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar reduce for less sweetness
  • 3 large Eggs added slowly
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream full-fat (around 36%)
  • 1/4 cup All-Purpose Flour

Equipment

  • 8-inch Springform Pan
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Hand Mixer

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F) without using a fan. Line an 8-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine room-temperature cream cheese, granulated sugar, and all-purpose flour. Mix until smooth.
  3. Gradually add the eggs, mixing on low speed just until combined after each addition.
  4. Slowly pour in the heavy cream and mix until fully incorporated without whipping.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan, gently tapping the sides to release air bubbles.
  6. Bake for about 40 minutes, checking for doneness at around 30 minutes. The top should be golden with a slightly jiggly center.
  7. Allow the cheesecake to cool completely in the pan for about an hour before refrigerating for at least 4 hours or overnight.
