Cheesecake Base
Method
Cheesecake Preparation
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper, ensuring it covers the bottom and sides.
Prepare the Cheesecake Batter
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth using an electric mixer. Add in the heavy cream and mix until well combined.
Add Eggs and Flavorings
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract, orange zest, and flour, mixing until smooth and creamy.
Pour and Bake
Pour the cheesecake batter into the prepared springform pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, until the top is dark golden brown and the center is slightly jiggly.
Cool and Refrigerate
Once baked, turn off the oven and crack the door open. Allow the cheesecake to cool in the oven for about 1 hour. Then, transfer it to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
