Ingredients

Heat the oven to 160°C (140°C fan). Line the base of a 20–23 cm springform tin. Beat soft cream cheese until smooth; mix in sugar, then eggs one at a time, cream, flour and vanilla — avoid beating in too much air.

Pour into the tin. Bake 45–55 minutes until the edges are set and the centre still has a slight wobble.
Turn off the oven, crack the door, and cool inside 30 minutes to reduce cracking. Cool fully, then chill at least 4 hours before unmoulding and slicing.

Chill thoroughly (at least 4 hours, ideally overnight); serve plain or with fruit.

Refrigerate up to 4 days. Freezes well in slices.
