Step-by-Step Instructions
First things first, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) so it’s nice and hot when we’re ready to bake. Next, in a large mixing bowl, I combine the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar. I usually use a mixer for this part because it helps achieve that creamy texture we’re looking for. Once it’s fluffy, I add in the milk, egg, and vanilla extract. Be sure to mix it until everything is well combined and smooth, creating a delightful cheesecake mixture. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
