Ingredients

Scale

Cheesecake Batter

  • 16 oz full-fat cream cheese
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (high-fat)
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot enough for proper baking and caramelization of the cheesecake top.
  2. Prepare Pan: Line a loaf pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it to prevent sticking and to aid in easy removal of the cheesecake after baking.
  3. Mix Cream Cheese and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, beat the full-fat cream cheese with the granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
  4. Add Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time to the cream cheese mixture, mixing well after each addition to fully incorporate and achieve a smooth batter.
  5. Add Cream and Vanilla: Pour in the heavy cream and pure vanilla extract, stirring until the batter is silky and well combined without overmixing.
  6. Bake: Transfer the prepared batter to the lined loaf pan and bake for 45-50 minutes. The cheesecake should develop a golden brown top and a slight jiggle in the center, indicating perfect doneness.
  7. Cool and Chill: Allow the cheesecake to cool at room temperature before refrigerating for at least 4 hours to set and enhance the flavors and texture.

Notes

  • Make sure cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing for a smoother batter.
  • A slight jiggle in the center after baking is crucial for the creamy texture characteristic of Basque cheesecake.
  • Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours; overnight is even better for richer flavor and firmer texture.
  • Use full-fat cream cheese and heavy cream for the best texture and flavor.
  • Lining the loaf pan with parchment paper ensures easy removal and clean edges.
