Ingredients
- 226 grams cream cheese
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 unit large egg
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, add the cream cheese and granulated sugar. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the ingredients on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 2
Add the vanilla extract and the egg to the mixture. Continue beating on low to medium speed until fully incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure everything is well combined.
Step 3
Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the mixture and gently fold it in using a spatula until no streaks of flour remain.
Step 4
If using with brownies or cakes, pour the prepared cheesecake topping over the partially baked or fully prepared base layer, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Step 5
Bake as directed in the recipe for your brownies or cake, or until the cheesecake topping is set and slightly golden around the edges.
Step 6
Allow the dessert to cool completely before slicing and serving for the best texture and flavor.
