Ingredients: - 2 cups cream cheese, softened - 1 cup heavy cream - 3 large eggs - 3/4 cup granulated sugar - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - 1/4 cup all-purpose flour - Pinch of salt Preparation Steps: 1. Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). 2. Take a 9-inch springform pan and line it with parchment paper, allowing the paper to rise above the edges. This will give your cheesecake that signature look! 3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it's perfectly smooth. 4. Gradually add in the granulated sugar, mixing well until fully combined. 5. Pour in the heavy cream and blend until you achieve a luscious, creamy texture. 6. Incorporate the eggs one by one, ensuring to mix thoroughly after each addition for a velvety batter. 7. Stir in the vanilla extract, then gently fold in the flour and a pinch of salt until just combined. 8. Carefully pour the cheesecake batter into your prepared springform pan. 9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, watching for a beautiful deep golden brown top with a slightly jiggly center. 10. Once baked, turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for 1 hour. This will complete the perfect texture! 11. After an hour, remove it from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving for that delightful chill!
