Ingredients
Scale
For the Filling:
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 3 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
Instructions
- 1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper, allowing some to hang over the edges for easy removal.
- 2. In a large mixing bowl, beat together cream cheese and sugar until smooth and fluffy.
- 3. Pour in heavy cream, adding eggs one at a time while mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract and flour until fully incorporated.
- 4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 25-30 minutes until the top is deeply golden-brown but still jiggles slightly in the center.
- 5. Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack for about an hour before transferring to the fridge. Chill for at least four hours or overnight.
- 6. Carefully remove from the pan using parchment paper flaps. Slice into wedges and serve as is or topped with fresh berries if desired.
