Cristina&apos;s Basque Cheesecake

750 g cream cheese blocks, room temperature (I use Philadelphia)

120 sugar

1 ¼ cups whipping cream, take out of fridge 15 minutes prior

¼ cup flour, plain/all-purpose

1 tsp vanilla bean extract (or paste)

¾ cups + 1 tbsp lightly whisked eggs, at room temperature, ~4-5 large eggs

Preheat oven to 220°C (200°C fan) with the shelf in the middle.
Press scrunched paper into 20cm springform pan.
Beat cream cheese 2 minutes on medium.
Beat in sugar on low speed for 10 seconds.
In separate bowl, hand whisk ¼ cup cream with the flour (becomes like paste).
Whisk in remaining cream and vanilla.
While beating on low, slowly pour cream into cream cheese, then eggs (don't overbeat).
Pour into pan, bang pan on counter, pop bubbles with knife.
Bake 45 min (up to 65 min possible) until top deep golden.
Cool 2 hrs on counter then 8 hrs+ in fridge uncovered.
