Description
A delightfully imperfect dessert featuring a rich, creamy center and a caramelized, charred top that creates a unique flavor experience.
Ingredients
Scale
- 24 ounces Cream Cheese, softened
- 1 cup Granulated Sugar
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 cup Heavy Cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- Pinch of Salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a 9-inch springform pan by greasing it lightly with non-stick spray or butter.
- Beat the cream cheese in a mixing bowl until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually mix in the sugar and vanilla extract, scraping down the sides to incorporate thoroughly.
- Add the eggs one at a time, blending gently until just incorporated.
- Pour in the heavy cream while continuously mixing until the batter is silky and glossy.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes until the top is deeply browned and the center wobbles slightly.
- Cool the cheesecake for at least 2 hours in the pan as it sets.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least another 4 hours or overnight before serving.
