Preheat the oven to 450°F. Tear 2 large piece of parchment paper 16" x 12". Place the paper to the bottom and sides of 7" springform pan.
In bowl: beat/mix cream cheese until smooth. Tip: microwave cream cheese in 30 seconds increments or until soft. Use a spatula to scrap the sides of the cheesecake batter to center of the bowl.
16 oz cream cheese
Add sugar and beat until smooth. Add heavy cream, vanilla paste, salt and beat until smooth. Use a spatula to scrap the sides of the cheesecake batter to center of the bowl.
¾ cup superfine sugar, 1 cup heavy cream, 1 tsp vanilla bean paste, ¼ tsp salt
Add cornstarch (make sure to sift it) and mix everything together until smooth.
1 tbsp cornstarch
Beat on low speed (to avoid air bubbles). In increments- add 1 egg at a time and whip until smooth. DO NOT SKIP THIS PART. Tip: have separate bowls with each egg ready to use. Use a spatula to transfer the batter to the springform. Let the batter rest in the pan for 15 minutes to remove extra air bubbles in the cheesecake. Place the cheesecake on a baking sheet.
3 large eggs
Bake for 27 minutes or until dark brown on top. It should be a puffy and jiggly when you remove it from the oven.
Place the cheesecake on the baking/cooling rack and let set at room temperature for 2-3 hours or until cool completely.
Serve at room temperature or refrigerate uncovered for 8 hours or overnight. Just before serving- gently remove the parchment paper from the cake.
