This is my favorite style of cheesecake because of the burnt top and creamy center. Tastes like a cheesecake crème brûlée!
INGREDIENTS:
- unsalted butter
- 2 pounds cream cheese
- 1½ cups sugar
- 6 large eggs
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Preheat oven to 400° F
- Grease the sides of the pan with unsalted butter, then line it with two sheets of parchment paper.
- In the large bowl beat together the cream cheese and sugar at medium-low speed, for until smooth (about 2 minutes).
- Add one egg at a time, beating at medium speed. Wait 15 seconds before adding each egg. Beat another 15 seconds or until the batter is creamy and silky.
- Add the heavy cream, kosher salt, and vanilla extract. Beat at low for another 30 seconds.
- Sift the flour into the cream cheese mix and beat on low for 30 seconds, until the batter is very smooth.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 60–65 minutes, until the cheesecake is deep brown on top but still jiggly in the middle.
- Let the cheesecake cool slightly before removing the sides of the springform pan. It will fall quite a bit as it cools.
