Step 1

Start off by pulling out your stand mixer or hand mixer. Then pull out 2lbs(4 packs) of cream cheese, 6 large eggs, and let that come to room temperature.

Step 2

Once that's us to room temperature, put all the cream cheese into your stand mixer, then add 1 1/2 cups of sugar. Turn on your stand mixer to the lowest setting to mix everything up.

Step 3

Then turn it up two more times to whip the sugar into the cream cheese. Turn it off and put some on your finger and rub your fingers together. If you can feel the grit(sugar) in the cream cheese, keep whipping it.

Step 4

One most of the sugar has been incorporated into the cream cheese, turn on the stand mixer to the lowest setting and slowly add your 6 eggs 1 by 1.

Step 5

Then go in with your 2 cups of heavy whipping cream. Mix that all in until everything is all incorporated. Make sure to scrape down the sides every once and a while!

Step 6

Then cut open the vanilla bean pod, scrape everything out of there carefully. Add all of that goodness into there and mix it in!

Step 7

Add in your 1/4 cup of flour and a pinch of salt. Mix that all in.

Step 8

Pre heat your oven to 400 degrees.

Step 9

Butter up your spring form pan and layer it with parchment paper. You want the parchment paper to be 2-3 inches taller than the pan. So don't be alarmed if a lot if poking out of the pan, you want that.

Step 10

Pour the cheesecake mixture into the pan. Then tap it on the counter so all of the air bubbles rise to the top and pop.

Step 11

Put it in the oven when the oven is pre heated. Soon as you add it to the oven, set a time for 60 minutes.

Step 12

Pull it from the oven and let it rest. Once it's come to room temperature you can enjoy it, but i like it when it's cold. I let mine rest in the fridge overnight and enjoy it the next day!

Step 13

Enjoy it however you want!
