Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400F/200C. Line an 8 inch/20cm cake pan with parchment paper making sure the edges of the paper overhang by good 1-1.5 inches. If your parchment paper is too narrow, cut two pieces and lay them down in a criss cross fashion. Don't worry if the paper is not flat against your pan and you have pleats, this cheesecake is supposed to look rustic. You can use a springform pan if you have one or a regular one. You should have no trouble removing the cheesecake by pulling it out by the ends of parchment paper.

  2. Beat the room temperature cream cheese with sugar until the sugar is dissolved. Then add the eggs and beat well until the mixture is light and fluffy, then pour in the cream, vanilla, flour and salt, blend until everything is combined.
