Prepare Your Equipment

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Line Muffin Tin: Line a standard muffin tin with parchment paper, ensuring the paper extends slightly above the edges for easy removal.

Make the Batter

1. Cream the Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth and fluffy.
2. Add Eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated.
3. Mix in Cream and Vanilla: Add the heavy cream and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
4. Fold in Flour: Sift in the flour and a pinch of salt, then gently fold until just combined.

Bake the Cheesecakes

1. Fill the Muffin Tin: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling nearly to the top.
2. Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the tops are deeply golden and slightly puffed.
3. Cool: Remove from the oven and let the cheesecakes cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Chill Before Serving

For the best texture, chill the cheesecakes in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
