Ingredients
- 32 oz Cream Cheese, at room temperature
- 1 and 2/3 cups Sugar
- 1/4 cup Cornstarch
- 1 tbsp Vanilla Extract
- 3 Large Eggs
- 3/4 cup Heavy Cream
1 tablespoon 00 Flour (to prevent sinking in the middle)(You can use regular flour if that is all you have)
Directions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (150°C).
Line the bottom of the baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, sugar, and the cornstarch. Beat until well combined and creamy, scraping down the bowl as needed.
Add the vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
Add the 00 Flour and mix until just combined.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, making sure to blend well after adding each egg.
Stir in the heavy cream until the mixture is just blended. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the cheesecake mixture into the prepared 9-inch cheesecake pan.
Place the cheesecake on the middle rack of the oven, and place a small pan filled halfway with water on the rack below the cheesecake
Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven at 325°F for 10 minutes.
Reduce oven temperature to 275°F and bake for approximately 45 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 150 degrees.
Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake to cool inside for about 30 minutes. Open the door of the oven and let the cheesecake continue to cool down for 30 more minutes.
Remove from the oven and let the cheesecake cool completely before refrigerating.
Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
When ready to serve, use the parchment paper to lift the cheesecake out of the pan. Slice and enjoy your homemade cheesecake!
