Step-by-Step Instructions
First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your baking dish—this is crucial because it prevents sticking! In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Use an electric mixer, or a whisk if you’re feeling strong, until the mixture is smooth and creamy. The smell at this stage is incredible! Once you have that velvety texture, add the egg and mix until just combined. This will create that rich cheesecake flavor we’re craving.
