Ingredients
  

For the Cheesecake
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup Sugar for sweetness and caramelization
  • 2 large Eggs add one by one
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream dairy-free optional
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract adjust for taste
  • 1/4 tsp Salt to balance sweetness
  • 1/4 cup Flour or cornstarch for gluten-free
For Serving (optional)
  • 1 cup Whipped Cream for topping
  • 1 cup Fruit Compote to contrast richness
  • 1/4 cup Chocolate Chips or Citrus Zest for flavor variations

Equipment

  • loaf pan
  • Mixing bowl
  • Hand mixer or stand mixer
  • Parchment paper

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line your loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat together softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the mixture is creamy.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt, mixing until silky smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
  5. Sift flour into the batter and gently fold it in with a spatula until just combined.
  6. Pour the cheesecake batter into the lined loaf pan and tap it gently on the counter to remove air bubbles.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes until the top is golden and the center is slightly jiggy.
  8. After baking, cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  9. To serve, lift the cheesecake from the pan using parchment overhang, slice, and enjoy with whipped cream or fruit compote.
