Ingredients

• 150 grams granulated sugar
• 450 grams cream cheese, softened
• 3 large eggs
• 60 grams unsalted butter, melted
• 250 milliliters whole milk
• 100 grams all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 9-inch (23 cm) round baking dish or springform pan with butter and lightly dust it with flour. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar. Use an electric mixer on medium speed to beat the mixture until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition to fully incorporate.

Step 4

Pour in the melted butter, whole milk, vanilla extract, and lemon zest, and mix until evenly combined.

Step 5

Sift the all-purpose flour into the bowl and gently fold it into the mixture until no lumps remain.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Note: The batter will be quite thin—this is normal.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set but still slightly jiggly when shaken.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and allow the cheesecake to cool completely in the pan, about 1-2 hours. The cheesecake will firm up as it cools.

Step 9

Once cooled, chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.

Step 10

Before serving, dust the top with powdered sugar. Slice and enjoy your Impossible Cheesecake!
