Description

A rich and creamy cheesecake with a caramelized top, perfect for special occasions.


Ingredients

  • 16 oz Full-Fat Cream Cheese (Room temperature)
  • 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar (Dissolved in mixture)
  • 3 large Eggs (At room temperature)
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream (Can substitute with lighter cream)
  • 1/4 cup All-Purpose Flour (Gluten-free alternatives work)
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt (Enhances sweetness)
  • 1 cup Whipped Cream (For serving)
  • 1 cup Fresh Berries (For serving)
  • 1/2 cup Caramel Sauce (For drizzling on top)


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper, making sure it hangs over the edges for easy removal later.
  3. Add the cream cheese to a large bowl and beat it until smooth.
  4. Mix in the granulated sugar until well combined.
  5. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  6. Pour in the heavy cream and mix until smooth.
  7. Fold in the flour and salt until just combined.
  8. Pour the mixture into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  9. Bake for about 40-45 minutes until the top is dark and burned but the center is still jiggly.
  10. Let it cool at room temperature for about an hour, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  11. Remove the cheesecake from the loaf pan using the parchment paper.
  12. Serve chilled, topped with whipped cream, fresh berries, and a drizzle of caramel sauce.

Notes

Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing. Don’t overbake; the cheesecake should be wobbly in the center when removed from the oven.
