Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine full-fat cream cheese and granulated sugar. Beat until smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each until fully incorporated.
  4. Gently fold in heavy cream, flour, and salt until just mixed.
  5. Prepare a loaf pan by greasing and lining with parchment paper. Pour in the batter.
  6. Bake for approximately 45 minutes until the top is caramelized but the center is slightly jiggly.
  7. Cool at room temperature for 30-60 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
