Ingredients

  • 750 g full-fat soft cream cheese
  • 175 g caster sugar
  • 4 medium eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla bean extract
  • 35 g plain flour
  • 300 ml double cream
Grams - Ounces

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 230ºc/210ºc fan and line a deep 8” cake tin with parchment paper
  • I do one large piece for the base and sides and simply push it into the base and sides - the paper does not need to be perfect. You can use two pieces if you are worried
  • Add the cream cheese to a bowl with the sugar and mix 
  • Add the eggs and vanilla and mix again 
  • Sift in the flour and mix through - if you are worried about lumps, mix the flour in with the cream first
  • Pour in the double cream and stir through
  • Pour into the tin
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes, until ‘burnt’ and very brown on top, and so there is still a considerable wobble in the middle 
  • Leave to cool in the tin for an hour
  • Set in the fridge for 1-2 hours minimum to firm up slightly or overnight and serve
