Description

A rustic, creamy cheesecake with a dark, caramelized top and no crust, perfect for impressing guests.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 blocks (16 oz) Cream Cheese
  • 3/4 cup Sugar
  • 3 large Eggs
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • 2 tbsp Flour

Instructions

  1. Let the cream cheese sit out until soft.
  2. Beat the cream cheese with sugar until smooth.
  3. Whisk in eggs, one at a time, until uniform.
  4. Add the cream and flour; beat again.
  5. Line your cake pan with parchment paper, ensuring it overhangs for easy removal.
  6. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and bake at high heat until the top is burnt and the middle is slightly wobbly.
  7. Cool almost completely before slicing.
  8. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar and serve with berries or cherries.

Notes

Use full-fat cream cheese for the best results. The cheesecake is meant to look imperfect and may crack, which adds character. Store in the fridge for up to three days.
