Cheesecake
Method
Baking Instructions
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper, ensuring it hangs over the edges.
Prepare the Cheesecake Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the heavy cream and mix until well combined.
Add Eggs and Flavorings
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract, salt, and flour until just combined.
Bake the Cheesecake
Pour the cheesecake mixture into the prepared pan and bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is dark brown and the center is slightly jiggly.
Cool and Chill
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool at room temperature for about 1 hour. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
