Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 445°F (230°C). Line a 6-inch springform pan with baking paper so it stands at least 2 inches (5 cm) above the rim.
  2. Beat the softened cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth and free of lumps.
  3. Add the sugar, salt, vanilla and lemon zest and whisk until smooth.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking each in fully before the next.
  5. Sift in the cornstarch and whisk just until combined.
  6. Pour in the cream and whisk until smooth.
  7. Put the cheesecake in the oven, then immediately lower the heat to 430°F (220°C). Bake about 25 minutes, until the top is golden brown but the centre still jiggles slightly.
  8. Cool in the pan on a wire rack to room temperature, then refrigerate uncovered for at least 4 hours to set.
  9. Gently remove from the pan and peel off the baking paper.
