Burnt NewYork cheese cake



Ingredients

  • 32 oz cream cheese, at room temperature

  • 1 and a 3/2 cups granulated sugar or 1.75 cups if easier to measure

  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • 6 large eggs

  • 200 ml heavy cream

  • 10-inch springform pan

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 410°F

  • Using an electric mixer, whisk all ingredients except eggs

  • Add eggs one at a time and whisk until just blended - don't overmix

  • Line sides and the bottom of a 10 inch springform pan with parchment paper, and pour the mixture. Let it settle for a few min

  • Bake on the center rack for 41 minutes - in my recipes i try to make it easier to remember like 410 F for 41 min...

  • At 41 min quickly open the door and gently shake the cake. It's done when only a small circle in the center jiggles slightly. Otherwise let it bake another 5 min, and dont overbake


  • If the top is not burnt yet, turn the broiler for a minute to let it burn - it will burn very quickly so keep watching it. You should burn the entire top like a crème brûlée, i removed mine a bit early because i liked the pattern

  • Remove it from the oven and let it cool on the counter.

  • Don’t remove the parchment papers and the springform until it’s ready to be plated otherwise will lose its shape. Cover it with stretchfilm and move to the fridge overnight.

  • Before serving it, let it come the room temp.

    • I believe that anything has fat in it (like cheese, creemcheese :) should be served in room temp, so that the fat can be melted/dispersed evenly throughout our food, lending flavor evenly.

    • Also there are ton of studies to show that "aroma molecules" become more volatile when subjected to heat (vs in a cold/numb state out of fridge) so that you can taste/smell them better
