Critical Success Points

  • Tempering the cream cheese without overheating
  • Blending the batter while keeping the immersion blender fully submerged to minimize air incorporation
  • Chilling the batter for at least 2 hours before baking
  • High‑temperature bake to achieve the burnt top
  • Dropping to low temperature and monitoring internal temperature
  • Cooling at room temperature before refrigeration

Safety Warnings

  • Use oven mitts when handling hot pans and foil.
  • Hot steam will escape when removing the parchment; keep face away.
  • Microwave cream cheese in short bursts to avoid overheating and splattering.
