Equipment

  • 1 6" baking pan
  • 1 Whisk
  • 1 Mixing Bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 400 g cream cheese
  • 100 g sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 300 ml double cream (heavy cream)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 20 g flour

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 220°C
  • In a mixing bowl, blend cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one by one, then mix in vanilla extract and double cream.
  • Sift in flour and gently mix until fully combined.
  • Line your 6" baking tin with crumpled parchment paper for easy fitting. Pour in the batter, tapping the tin to release air bubbles.
  • Bake at 220-240°C for 30 minutes on the lower rack. Adjust if necessary to prevent over-browning.
  • Let the cheesecake cool in the tin for at least 2 hours to prevent collapse. Refrigerate overnight for a firmer texture.
