  2. In a large bowl add the cream cheese and mix with a hand mixer (or standing mixer) for a minute on medium speed. Add the sugar and continue to mix for 2 minutes making sure to scrape the sides of the bowl and the bottom of the bowl after each minute.

  3. Add the eggs, one at a time until thoroughly incorporated (while constantly scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl) then add the cream, vanilla and salt and mix for 30 more seconds.

  4. Sift the flour into the bowl and fold with a spatula. Pour mixture in your prepared pan, and pop it in the oven for 45 minutes. Remove your cheesecake from the oven and allow to cool to room temperature. Put your cheesecake into the fridge to set overnight. Slice and serve!
