Description

A light and fluffy Japanese cheesecake, perfect for dessert lovers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 3 large eggs, separated
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar, divided
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Prepare a 7-inch round cake pan by greasing and lining the bottom with parchment paper. Wrap the outside of the pan with aluminum foil to prevent water from seeping in.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth.
  3. Gradually beat in the egg yolks one at a time, then stir in the milk and vanilla extract.
  4. Sift the flour over the cream cheese mixture and mix until just combined.
  5. In a separate clean bowl, beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar and continue beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  6. Gently fold about one-third of the egg whites into the cream cheese mixture to lighten it. Then, carefully fold in the remaining egg whites until no streaks remain.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Place the cake pan in a larger baking pan and fill the larger pan with about 1 inch of hot water.
  8. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set and lightly golden brown.
  9. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour.
  10. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before refrigerating.

Notes

  • Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for best results.
  • Do not overmix the batter after adding the flour.
  • The water bath helps to create a moist environment for baking, resulting in a delicate texture.
