Ingredients
  

Cheesecake Base
  • 16 oz Cream Cheese use full-fat for best results
  • 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar can substitute with coconut sugar for a deeper flavor
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream for a vegan option, use coconut cream instead
  • 3 large Large Eggs for an egg-free version, use flax eggs (1 tablespoon flaxseed meal + 2.5 tablespoons water per egg)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract opt for pure vanilla for better taste
  • 1/4 cup All-Purpose Flour can be substituted with almond flour for a gluten-free option
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt using sea salt will elevate the overall flavor profile

Equipment

  • 9x5-inch loaf pan
  • Electric Mixer
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Parchment paper

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper to ensure easy removal later.
  2. Beat the Cream Cheese: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese using an electric mixer until it becomes smooth and creamy. Gradually add granulated sugar, mixing until well combined.
  3. Incorporate the Cream: Pour in the heavy cream and blend until fully mixed. Then, add the large eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. Add the Dry Ingredients: Gently fold in the vanilla extract, all-purpose flour, and salt until just combined.
  5. Bake the Cheesecake: Pour the cheesecake mixture into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is deeply browned.
  6. Cool Gradually: Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside for an additional 10 minutes.
  7. Chill Before Serving: Refrigerate your Basque Cheesecake Loaf for at least 4 hours, or overnight if you can wait.
