Description

A deliciously creamy and rich dessert that features a gooey center with a beautifully burnt top, perfect for cheesecake lovers.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 340g cream cheese, softened (full-fat)
  • 100g granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 180ml heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper, ensuring some overhang for easy removal later.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth and fluffy, ensuring no lumps remain.
  3. Incorporate eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition to maintain a silky consistency.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt. Beat until fully incorporated and the mixture appears silky and homogeneous.
  5. Sift the flour into the mixture and fold gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Gently tap the pan on the counter to release any trapped air bubbles.
  7. Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top develops a deep golden color while the center maintains a slight jiggle.
  8. Allow the cheesecake to cool completely to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight) before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing.
  • For best results, refrigerate overnight before serving.
  • Can be served plain or with a fruit topping for added flavor.
