Ingredients
Scale
- 16 oz full-fat cream cheese (room temperature)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1 cup heavy cream (lighter cream may be substituted)

- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Fold in the heavy cream, flour, and salt until just combined.
