Ingredients
Let's gather the ingredients!
- 2 8 oz. packages cream cheese softened
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- ½ tsp lemon zest
- 3 large eggs
Instructions
Let's Begin!
- Preheat oven to 425℉. Line an 8-inch round springform pan with parchment paper. Making sure it covers the entire pan including the sides and bottom.
- In a large bowl, use a mixer to beat the cream cheese, heavy cream, sugar, flour, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and zest together until well blended. Add eggs, one at a time, and beat until just blended. Do not overmix.
- Pour the filling into the prepared pan, then knock the side of the pan a few times to release trapped air bubbles.
- Bake for 55 minutes until the top turns burnt brown. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake in the oven for an hour, allowing it to reduce the temperature slowly. This helps prevent the cheesecake from cracking due to shrinkage.
- Cover the pan with plastic wrap and transfer it to the refrigerator overnight to cool down and solidify.
- To serve, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and parchment paper. Transfer to a serving dish and slice.
- Enjoy with family and friends!
