Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 600 grams Cream cheese
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 300 milliliters Heavy cream
- 4 units Large eggs
- 15 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Grease and line a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan with parchment paper, ensuring that the paper rises above the edge of the pan to catch any overflow.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar together using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure everything is incorporated.
Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually pour in the heavy cream. Continue mixing until fully combined and smooth.
Sift in the flour, then add the vanilla extract and salt. Mix on low speed just until no lumps remain.
Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan. Gently tap the pan on the counter to release any air bubbles.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is deeply browned and caramelized but the center is still slightly jiggly when shaken.
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature in the pan. Once cool, transfer it to the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours or overnight to set completely.
When ready to serve, carefully remove the cheesecake from the pan. Slice and enjoy this creamy, caramelized Spanish treat!
