Ingredients

Butter without salt (for pan)
2 lb cheese at room temperature
1½ cup sugar
6 eggs
2  cups of heavy cream
Kosher salt (1 tablespoon)
Vanilla extract (1 tablespoon)
⅓ cup flour (all-purpose)
Sherry (optional, for serving)

Equipment required to a cheese cake

A pan with diameter 10.

Process

  • Place a rack in center of oven and preheat to 400°. Put butter on pan. Then line it with parchment overlapping each other ensuring that it comes at least 2” above the top of pan on every side. The parchment has to be pleated and creased in some areas to cover all sides of pan. You won’t get a clean and smooth outer edge to the cake. Keep the pan on a baking sheet.

  • Mix cream, cheese and sugar in a bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium-low speed, scrapping the sides of bowl, until the mixture becomes smooth with no lumps and sugar has dissolved for 2 minutes.

  • Increase speed to medium and add eggs one after the other, beating each egg 15 seconds before adding the next. Scrape the sides of bowl.

  • Reduce mixer speed to medium-low. Add cream, salt, and vanilla and mix it until combined for 30 seconds.

  • Turn off mixer and spread flour evenly over cream cheese mixture using a fine-mesh sieve. Beat on low speed for 15 seconds. Scrape down sides of bowl and continue to beat until batter becomes smooth, even and silky for 10 seconds.

  • Pour out the batter into prepared pan. Bake cheesecake until deeply golden brown on top and still puffy in the core for 60–65 minutes.

  • Let it slightly cool down and then unmold. Let it completely cool down. Peel away parchment properly from all sides of cheesecake.

  • Cut it into slices and serve at room temperature along with a glass of sherry if preferred.
