Directions

35 min
  1. 1

    Crumple parchment paper with wrinkles and line it in the baking pan.

  2. 2

    Mix together 200g cream cheese, 6 tbsp granulated sugar, and 2 eggs until well combined.

  3. 3

    Sift in 1 tbsp cake flour and mix the entire mixture until smooth.

  4. 4

    Add 200g heavy cream and mix until the batter becomes smooth and creamy.

  5. 5

    Pour the batter into the pan and smooth it out while removing air bubbles.

  6. 6

    Preheat the oven to 230°C and bake for 20 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 200°C and bake for an additional 10 minutes.

  7. 7

    The cheesecake is done when the top is golden brown. The center will be soft and jiggly.

  8. 8

    Once cooled to room temperature, chill thoroughly in the refrigerator before slicing.

  9. 9

    For the best texture, warm the sliced cake in the microwave for 10-20 seconds after cutting, which brings out a wonderfully creamy, melting texture.

Tips

The browning may vary depending on your oven, so adjust as needed while monitoring. Mixing carefully will result in a smooth, refined finish.
