Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Allow about 10 minutes for it to reach the desired temperature.
Line and grease a loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.
In a mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth and free of lumps.
Add the large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition to ensure a silky texture.
Pour in the heavy cream and vanilla extract, blending until the batter is smooth and velvety.
Pour the cheesecake batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 45-50 minutes.
Let the cheesecake cool completely at room temperature for 1-2 hours before refrigerating for at least 4 hours.
