Directions

1. 1
   All ingredients should be at room temperature.

   Using a paddle, not a wire whip, cream together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and salt.
4. 4
   Slowly add the egg yolks.
5. 5
   Lastly, add in the unwhipped whipping cream and vanilla.
6. 6
   Mix only until blended; do not over-beat.
7. 7
   Mixture will be quite thin.
8. 8
   Bake at 325 degrees for 60-75 minutes until a light brown top.
9. 9
   You may place the pans inside a second pan filled with water to allow for a creamier, moister cake, but not necessary.
10. 10
    Remove from oven and allow to cool until edges pull away from pan (about 1/2 hour) then remove from pans.
