3 tablespoons of room-temperature heavy cream

1 egg, large

A tablespoon of sour cream, softened
05 -
2 tablespoons of sugar
06 -
1.5 teaspoons of regular flour
07 -
1/4 teaspoon vanilla essence
# Instructions:
01 -
Start by preheating your oven to 500°F. Make sure it heats for a minimum of 15 minutes. Use parchment paper to line the inside of your 4-inch cheesecake pan.
02 -
Grab a medium mixing bowl. Stir together the cream cheese, sour cream, and heavy cream. Once they blend, whisk in the egg, sugar, and vanilla until everything's smooth.
03 -
Sprinkle the flour into the wet mix. Keep stirring until the batter's smooth and you don't see lumps.
04 -
Pour the mixture into the cheesecake pan. Place it on the hottest level of your oven's top rack toward the back. Lower the temp to 450°F and bake for 20 minutes.

Take the cheesecake out of the oven. Rest it in the pan for about 20 minutes. Carefully move it from the parchment paper to a cooling rack, letting it reach room temp. Chill it in the fridge if you'd like a denser texture.
