Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes
Servings 6

Ingredients

  • 250 grams cream cheese
  • 1 cup all-purpose cream
  • 100 grams granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 20 grams cake flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 orange (zest)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450F (230C)
  • Line springform pan with parchment paper (I used 6" for this recipe)
  • Mix cream cheese and sugar until smooth
  • Add all-purpose cream, cake flour, vanilla
  • Add the eggs one at a time and mix until smooth
  • Add the orange rinds
  • Pour the mixture into your prepared cake pan. Note: drop the pan a few times onto a kitchen towel on your counter to coax out any bubbles for that smooth finish.
  • Bake the cheesecake until the top is caramelized and burnt. From 20-22 minutes. It should still be jiggly in the center when you remove it from the oven
  • Let it cool on a cooling rack and refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving.
