# What You Need:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
16 ounces full-fat cream cheese, brought to room temperature
02 -
3/4 cup granulated sugar, dissolved thoroughly
03 -
3 large eggs, at room temperature
04 -
1 cup heavy cream
05 -
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
06 -
1/4 teaspoon salt
→ Finishing Touch
07 -
1/2 cup caramel sauce, for drizzling
# How to Make It:
01 -
Line a standard loaf pan with parchment paper, allowing overhang on all sides for easy release.
02 -
Combine room temperature cream cheese and granulated sugar in a mixing bowl. Beat with a stand mixer or hand mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
03 -
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well between each addition to fully emulsify the batter.
04 -
Pour in the heavy cream, then sprinkle in the all-purpose flour and salt. Blend until the batter is fully combined and silky.
05 -
Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
06 -
Position oven rack in the center and bake at 425°F (218°C) for 25 minutes, or until the top is deeply browned and the center still gently jiggles.
07 -
Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for at least 1 hour. Lift cheesecake out using parchment overhang and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
08 -
Once cooled, transfer to a serving plate and generously drizzle caramel sauce over the top before slicing.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Allowing the cheesecake to cool at room temperature prevents cracking and improves texture.
