Ingredients
– 24 ounces cream cheese, softened
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 4 large eggs
– 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.
3. Gradually add the sugar, beating well after each addition, until the mixture is light and fluffy.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
5. Stir in the flour, vanilla extract, and salt until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
7. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until the center is still slightly jiggly but the edges are set.
8. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door ajar for 1 hour.
9. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
10. Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving.
Notes
For best results, use room temperature ingredients. The long baking and cooling process helps create the signature creamy and caramelized texture of a basque cheesecake.
