Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease an 8-inch (20 cm) round baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
Mix the Batter: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract, heavy cream, and optional ingredients if using.
Pour into Pan: Transfer the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center slightly jiggles.
Cool: Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving for best texture.
