Description

A rich and creamy cheesecake made with cream cheese and mascarpone.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb cream cheese (three 8oz blocks)
  • 8 oz mascarpone
  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs (at room temperature)
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1 ¾ cups + 1 Tbsp heavy cream
  • a pinch fine sea salt
  • 1 Tablespoon all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Prep Pan and Preheat Oven: Place a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a 9-inch springform pan with two large pieces of parchment paper, crisscrossed, leaving 2-3 inch overhangs sticking straight up.

  2. Make Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and mascarpone until smooth. Add sugar, a little at a time while mixing, until fully incorporated and smooth. Add eggs and yolks one at a time, mixing after each addition. Mix in cream and salt. Sift in the flour and stir to combine.

  3. Bake: Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for about 30-40 minutes (depending on how soft and creamy you like the center. I bake mine for 30 minutes). The top of the cheesecake should be golden, and it will still be jiggly in the center.

  4. Cool: Remove from oven and cool for 1 hour on a wire cooling rack.

  5. Refrigerate for several hours (ideally overnight) to allow it to set up. Don’t remove cheesecake from the pan.

  6. Serve: Let it sit at room temperature for an hour before serving. Release sides from spring form pan. Fold down parchment paper, cut and serve.

Notes

  • For best results, refrigerate overnight to enhance the flavor.
