Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 24 oz Cream Cheese Choose full-fat for the best flavor.
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar Sweetens the mixture and helps create that caramelized crust.
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream Adds richness and contributes to a smooth texture.
  • 3 large Eggs Binds the ingredients together.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Enhances the flavor profile.
  • 2 tablespoons All-Purpose Flour Helps with structure without making it dense.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Line a standard loaf pan (9x5 inches) with parchment paper.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and sugar. Beat until smooth and free of lumps.
  4. Add the heavy cream and mix until well incorporated.
  5. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing just enough to combine, then add the vanilla extract.
  6. Gently fold in the flour until just combined, leaving it slightly lumpy.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Baking
  1. Bake for 50-60 minutes until the top is deeply browned and slightly puffed.
  2. Allow it to cool in the pan for 20 minutes before lifting it out using the parchment paper.
