Method
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese with the sugar using an electric mixer at medium speed until smooth and the sugar dissolves (about 5 minutes).
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then add the yolks.
- Gradually pour in the cream and vanilla, mixing until fully incorporated.
- Sift the flour over the mixture and gently fold it in until smooth.
- Line a 9-inch round springform pan with two overlapping sheets of parchment paper, leaving the edges overhanging.
- Pour in the batter and smooth the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes, until the top is dark golden brown and the center is slightly jiggly.
- Let the cheesecake cool at room temperature for 1 hour, then refrigerate until set (ideally overnight).
