  • Total Time: 5 hours (including chilling time)
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Cheesecake Batter

  • 16 oz Full-Fat Cream Cheese (Room temperature)
  • 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar (Dissolved in mixture)
  • 3 large Eggs (At room temperature)
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream (Can substitute with lighter cream)
  • 1/4 cup All-Purpose Flour (Gluten-free alternatives work)
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt (Enhances sweetness)

For Serving

  • 1 cup Whipped Cream
  • 1 cup Fresh Berries
  • 1/2 cup Caramel Sauce (For drizzling on top)

Instructions

  1. Preparation Steps: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot enough for proper baking of the cheesecake.
  2. Mix Cream Cheese and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar together until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
  3. Add Eggs: Incorporate the eggs one at a time into the mixture, beating well after each addition to create a smooth, uniform batter.
  4. Fold in Remaining Ingredients: Gently fold in the heavy cream, all-purpose flour, and salt to the mixture, combining thoroughly without overmixing, preserving the texture.
  5. Pour Batter into Pan: Prepare a 9×5 inch loaf pan by greasing and lining it, then pour the cheesecake batter evenly into the pan.
  6. Bake the Cheesecake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 45 minutes, or until the top turns golden brown with a slight jiggle remaining in the center indicating it’s perfectly baked.
  7. Cool and Chill: Allow the cheesecake to cool at room temperature, then transfer it to the refrigerator. Chill for at least 4 hours, preferably longer, to let the cheesecake set and develop flavor.
  8. Serve: When ready to serve, top with whipped cream, fresh berries, and drizzle caramel sauce over the cheesecake slices for enhanced taste and presentation.

Notes

  • Room temperature ingredients help achieve a smoother batter and better texture.
  • If using gluten-free flour, adjust the amount if necessary to maintain batter consistency.
  • The slight jiggle in the center when baked indicates the cheesecake is perfectly set and will firm as it cools.
  • Chilling overnight is recommended for the best flavor and texture.
  • Store leftover cheesecake covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
