Description
This dessert is a unique creation with a richly creamy texture and slightly charred top, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 340g cream cheese, softened (full-fat)
- 100g granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 180ml heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 200°C. As you wait for the oven, line your loaf pan with parchment paper. Make sure the parchment overlaps the sides; this will help with easy removal once the cheesecake is baked.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine your softened cream cheese and granulated sugar. Use a mixer to beat the mixture until it becomes smooth and fluffy. Be diligent about removing any lumps, ensuring that your cheesecake gets the creamy texture we’re aiming for.
- Next, crack in the two large eggs, adding them one at a time. This technique allows for a fully incorporated mixture while maintaining a silky consistency. Make sure to mix well after each egg addition.
- Add in the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt. Beat until everything is well-blended and appears velvety. This is where the cheesecake loaf starts to gain its distinct rich flavor profile.
- To give the cheesecake a bit of structure, sift in the all-purpose flour. Using a spatula, gently fold the flour into the mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can compromise the loaf’s airy, delicate texture.
- Carefully pour the cheesecake batter into your prepared loaf pan. Give the pan a gentle tap on the counter — this will help release any trapped air bubbles that might ruin the creaminess of your dessert. Bake for about 40 to 45 minutes or until the top develops a deep golden color, ensuring the center retains a slight jiggle.
- Once baked, remove the cheesecake loaf from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Afterward, cover it and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to firm up beautifully. When you’re ready, slice and serve this luscious treat!
