Ingredients
  

Cheesecake Base
  • 16 ounces Cream Cheese, softened Use Halal-certified brands.
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • ½ cup Brown Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 3 large Eggs
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • 1 tablespoon All-Purpose Flour, sifted
  • 1 pinch Salt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper, ensuring it hangs over the edges for easy removal later.
  2. Mix the Cream Cheese and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the Eggs and Flavorings: Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Incorporate the fresh lemon juice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt, continuing to mix until fully combined.
  4. Stir in the Heavy Cream and Flour: Pour in the heavy cream and sifted flour. Mix gently until the batter is well-combined and silky.
  5. Pour the Batter: Transfer the batter into the lined springform pan, smoothing out the top with a spatula.
  6. Bake: Place the cheesecake in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 50-60 minutes, until the top is a deep golden brown and the center is slightly jiggly.
  7. Cool and Chill: Once baked, remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool at room temperature for about an hour before refrigerating for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to set.
  8. Serve: Carefully remove the sides of the springform pan, slice, and enjoy with your favorite toppings!

Notes

Consistency is key: Ensure your cream cheese is well softened to avoid lumps in the batter. Watch the oven: Keep a close eye toward the end of baking to avoid over-charring. Chill properly: Allowing the cheesecake to chill not only enhances the flavors but also perfects the texture.
