Method
Instructions for Basque Cheesecake
Prepare the Oven
Preheat your oven to 210°C (410°F). Line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper, making sure the paper rises above the edges of the pan.
Mix the Cream Cheese
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add Sugar and Vanilla
Gradually add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese, mixing until well combined.
Incorporate Eggs
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until fully incorporated.
Add Heavy Cream
Pour in the heavy cream and mix until smooth.
Mix in Flour and Salt
Sift in the all-purpose flour and add a pinch of salt. Gently fold until just combined.
Bake the Cheesecake
Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the top is dark brown and the center is slightly jiggly.
Cool and Serve
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 30 minutes. Carefully remove the springform and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
