Preheat oven to 220 degree C. Line a 4 to 5 inch round cake pan with parchment paper. Crush the paper with your hands and then line the pan roughly. This is important step.
Take cream cheese in a bowl. Make sure the cream cheese is in room temp.
Use a hand beater and beat this till creamy.
Add in sugar, vanilla and keep mixing
Add in egg and mix well
Add in cream and mix until just combined
Now sieve in 1 tbsp flour, salt and fold gently.
Pour the batter into the lined pan and bake for 50 to 55 mins
Remove and cool it for 30 mins at room temperature. Now pop the cake in fridge and let it chill.
Slice and serve.
Notes
Mix cream cheese with sugar and vanilla till light and fluffy.
Once you add the eggs don't over beat.
Make sure you line the pan with parchment paper so some parchment over hangs the pan.
Bake the cheesecake at higher temperature so it gets charred and caramelized on top.
Remove the cake from oven and leave to cool at room temp for at least 2 hours before slicing.
You could add an extra yolk for fudgier cheesecake.
Don't add too much flour else the cheesecake will be spongy.
