Ingredients
  

For the Cheesecake
  • 16 oz Full-Fat Cream Cheese Essential for achieving a rich and creamy texture; avoid low-fat options for the best result.
  • 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar Sweetens the cheesecake and caramelizes beautifully on the top for that signature burnt flavor.
  • 3 Large Eggs Provide structure and richness; be sure to beat them well for optimal incorporation into the mixture.
  • 1/4 cup All-Purpose Flour Adds a slight structure to the cheesecake; can be substituted with a gluten-free blend if desired.
  • 1/2 tsp Salt Enhances the overall flavor profile and balances the sweetness.
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract Infuses the cheesecake with a lovely aroma and deepens the flavor.
Optional Toppings
  • 1 cup Fresh Berries Add a pop of color and a burst of freshness.
  • 1 cup Whipped Cream Creates a light, airy contrast to the rich cheesecake.
  • 1/2 cup Caramel Sauce Drizzle for an additional layer of sweetness.

Equipment

  • 9x5 inch loaf pan
  • Electric Mixer
  • spatula

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Butter a 9x5 inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang.
  2. Beat the cream cheese on medium speed until smooth. Gradually add sugar, mixing until combined.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until fully incorporated.
  4. Sift in flour and salt, then fold gently into the mixture. Stir in vanilla extract.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for approximately 45 minutes until the top is golden brown and the center jiggles slightly.
  6. Allow the cheesecake to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  7. Use the parchment overhang to lift the cheesecake out. Slice and serve chilled or at room temperature.
