The first time I made this 3-Ingredient Baked Vanilla Bean Cheesecake, I wanted to create a rich and creamy dessert with a beautiful vanilla flavor without using a long list of ingredients. I had cream cheese, eggs, and sweetened condensed milk flavored with vanilla bean paste in my kitchen, so I decided to keep the recipe as simple as possible.
As it baked, the cheesecake filled my kitchen with a warm and sweet vanilla aroma. The vanilla bean paste gave the filling a beautiful flavor and those lovely little vanilla bean specks throughout. After cooling and chilling it, I was surprised by how smooth, creamy, and satisfying every bite was. It’s now one of my favorite simple cheesecake recipes when I want something elegant without complicated preparation.
