Mould preparation
- Grease the cake tin and line the sides with greaseproof paper.

- Refrigerate for 10 minutes.
To make the cheesecake
- Place the cream cheese in the mixer, mix for three minutes on medium speed.
- Add the vanilla essence and sugar. Beat at the same speed for two more minutes.
- Finally, add the heavy cream, cream, salt and eggs. Mix again for a couple of minutes.
- Pour the cream into the mould. Set aside.
- Using a large baking dish, pour two and a half cups of water. Place the cheesecake pan into this pan.
- Bake the cheesecake in the oven for 30 minutes at a temperature of 180ºC, then lower the temperature to 150ºC and continue baking for 30 minutes more.
- Remove from the oven and leave to cool for 20 minutes.
