Equipment

1 Stand mixer or hand mixer and large bowl
1 10 inch springform pan
2 sheets Parchment Paper

Ingredients

2 pounds cream cheese room temperature
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1.5 cups white sugar
5 large eggs
2 cups heavy cream
1/3 cup all purpose flour

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Prepare a 10 inch springform pan with cooking spray and line with 2 sheets of parchment paper angled so that all sides of the pan are covered. (To get the paper to lay well you can crumble it in a ball and then straighten it back out before placing it in the pan).
Add the cream cheese, sugar and salt to the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment ( or a large bowl if using a hand mixer) and mix together on medium speed until creamy.
Add the eggs one at a time until fully incorporated. Pour in the heavy cream and flour and mix together until smooth (about 1 minute).
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and place the pan on a baking sheet.
Bake the cheesecake for 60 minutes or until the top of the cheesecake is golden and the center is slightly jiggly.
Cool the cheesecake on a wire rack to room temperature. Remove the ring of the springform pan, transfer to a serving platter and gently peel the parchment paper from the sides prior to serving.
