Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 8-inch springform pan with parchment paper, letting it extend several inches above the rim.
In a large bowl, beat the Cheesecake Base Cream Cheese and Granulated Sugar until smooth and creamy.
Beat in the Large Eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Stir in the Heavy Cream, Vanilla Extract, and Salt until combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the mixture into the prepared springform pan.
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the top is deeply browned and the center is still slightly jiggly. The burnt appearance is desired.
Let cool completely in the pan before refrigerating for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
Carefully remove the cheesecake from the pan and serve.
