  2. In a large mixing bowl, blend room temperature cream cheese and sugar until smooth and glossy.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until silky.
  4. Gently fold in heavy cream, flour, and salt until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
  5. Pour the cheesecake batter into the prepared loaf pan, tapping gently to release air bubbles.
