  • 180gr heavy cream
  • 3 large eggs
  • 9gr cornstarch
  • 1tbsp vanilla paste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 220-240°C. Grease a round cake pan (approximately 20 cm) and line the bottom and sides with parchment paper. Try to avoid using a springform
  2. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add the sugar and continue beating until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  5. Pour the heavy cream slowly into the bowl and beat at low speed until everything is well combined.
  6. Add the vanilla, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt, and mix until everything is thoroughly incorporated. pre-mix your cornstarch with 1tsp of water to prevent lumping
  7. Pour the cheesecake mixture into the prepared cake pan.
  8. Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the top is deep brown. The center should still be soft and slightly jiggly when you lightly shake the pan, and the edges should be lightly set.
  9. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool in the pan at room temperature. After cooling, you can refrigerate the cheesecake to further set overnight.
  10. Once fully cooled and set, remove the cheesecake from the pan and serve.
