Ingredients

• 200 grams Unsalted butter
• 300 grams All-purpose flour
• 100 grams Granulated sugar (for dough)
• 2 large Egg yolks
• 500 grams Cream cheese
• 120 grams Granulated sugar (for filling)
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 pinch Salt
• 10 grams Powdered sugar (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the dough: In a mixing bowl, combine unsalted butter, granulated sugar for the dough, and egg yolks. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Step 2

Gradually add all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt into the butter mixture. Knead lightly until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.

Step 3

Divide the dough into two equal parts, shape each into a ball, wrap them in plastic wrap, and freeze for 1 hour until firm enough to grate.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper.

Step 5

Prepare the cheesecake filling: In a large bowl, mix cream cheese and granulated sugar for the filling. Beat with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.

Step 6

Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, mix in vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.

Step 7

Assemble the cheesecake: Grate one frozen dough ball using a box grater and spread the grated dough evenly at the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.

Step 8

Pour the cheesecake filling over the grated crust, smoothing it out with a spatula.

Step 9

Grate the second frozen dough ball and evenly sprinkle it over the cheesecake filling, ensuring full coverage.

Step 10

Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the filling is set.

Step 11

Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Then, transfer it to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Step 12

Once chilled, release the springform pan, slice, and serve. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar before serving for added sweetness and decoration.
