THE RECIPE

INGREDIENTS
1 kg (2.2 lbs) cream cheese
7 eggs
400 g (2 cups) sugar
1 tablespoon (15g) flour
15 L (6.5 fl oz or 45 cup) cream (if you're in Spain, use nata de montar)

DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat the oven to 220C (425F).
2. Put all the ingredients together in a large mixing bowl. Use an electric mixer to beat until smooth. The mixture should be very creamy!
3. Line a springform pan or round baking pan with enough wax or parchment paper that it extends past the edges of the pan. This will help you later to be able to remove the cheesecake from the pan and will prevent it from sticking.
4. Move a rack to the center of the oven so heat can get to the cheesecake from above and below.
5. Bake for 40 minutes. Note that the cake will rise but dont be alarmed! It will settle when its out of the oven. When the cake is brown and almost burned looking, turn the oven off. The center shouldnt be completely set.
6. Let it start to cool gradually by leaving the oven door half open. After a half hour or so, move the cake to the fridge to cool. Alternatively, you can take is straight out and let it cook at room temperature (as I did in the vide0)
7. After a few hours, your cheesecake should be chilled enough to cut. Dont remove the cake from the paper until its about to be cut, plated and devoured as it can start to lose its shape.
