Ingredients
- 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest or orange zest
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups fresh raspberries or blackberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line a 7-inch springform pan completely with parchment paper, letting the paper extend above the rim.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar for about 4–5 minutes until very smooth and creamy.
- Mix in the vanilla extract, citrus zest, and salt until well combined.
- Pour in the heavy cream and mix until the batter becomes smooth.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Sprinkle the flour over the batter and gently mix until just combined.
- Carefully fold in the berries, keeping them mostly whole.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, until the top is deeply golden and the center still slightly jiggles.
- Let the cheesecake cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate overnight before slicing and serving.
