Categories     Desserts

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

7 tablespoons butter
4 oz cream cheese
½ cup milk
8 eggs, yolk
¼ cup flour
¼ cup cornstarch
13 large egg whites
⅔ cup granulated sugar
hot water, for baking
powdered sugar, for serving
1 pt Strawberries, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 320°F (160°C).
  • In a small pot over medium heat, whisk together the butter, cream cheese, and milk until melted and smooth. Remove from the heat and let cool.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the egg yolks until smooth, then slowly drizzle in the cream cheese mixture, stirring until evenly combined.
  • Sift in the flour and the cornstarch, whisking to make sure there are no lumps.
  • In another large bowl, beat the egg whites with a hand mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar while continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.
  • Fold about ¼ of the egg whites and into the yolk mixture, then repeat with the remaining egg whites until the batter is evenly combined.
  • Grease the bottom of a 9 x 3-inch (23 x 7.5 cm) round cake pan, then line the bottom and sides with parchment paper. If using a springform pan, make sure to wrap the bottom and sides completely in foil twice to prevent any leakage.
  • Pour the batter into the pan and shake to release any large air bubbles.
  • Place the pan into a larger baking dish lined with 2 paper towels at the bottom. The paper towels ensure that the heat is distributed evenly along the bottom of the pan. Fill the larger pan about 1-inch (2-cm) high with hot water.
  • Bake for 25 minutes, then reduce the heat to 285°F (140°C), and bake for another 55 minutes, until the cake has risen to almost double its original height.
  • Remove from oven, and carefully invert the cake onto your dominant hand and peel off the paper. Be extremely careful, the cake will be hot. You can also invert the cake onto a plate, but this will cause the cake to deflate more.
  • Dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar, then slice and serve with strawberries while still warm!
  • Enjoy!

LIGHT AND AIRY CHEESECAKE



Light and Airy Cheesecake image

I love cheesecake but sometimes it can be too rich and too sweet. When growing up in Puerto Rico, I remember enjoying a very light textured baked cheesecake from a local bakery. This is my version of that cheesecake. While not exactly the same, it is light, fluffy, and delicious. Serve with a light fruit syrup to take it over the top!

Time 6h10m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

½ (12 ounce) package vanilla wafers, crushed
3 eggs, separated
½ cup white sugar
8 ounces sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
⅛ teaspoon cream of tartar

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Wrap the exterior of an 8-inch springform pan with aluminum foil, then spray the interior with cooking spray. Spread the vanilla wafer crumbs over the bottom and sides of the pan, pressing firmly to adhere.
  • Cream together the egg yolks and sugar in a large bowl. Stir in the cream cheese, sour cream, and vanilla extract until smooth. Beat egg whites until foamy in a large glass or metal mixing bowl. Add the cream of tartar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites should form a sharp peak that holds its shape.
  • Use a rubber spatula or wire whisk to fold 1/3 of the egg whites into the cream cheese mixture . Gently run the spatula through the center of the bowl, then around the sides of the bowl, repeating until fully incorporated. Add the remaining egg whites, folding just until incorporated. Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan. Line a roasting pan with a damp kitchen towel. Place springform pan on towel, inside roasting pan, and place roasting pan on oven rack. Fill roasting pan with boiling water to reach halfway up the sides of the baking dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 50 minutes. The cheesecake is ready when the edges have nicely puffed and the surface of the cheesecake is firm except for a small spot in the center that will jiggle when the pan is gently shaken. Turn off the oven, and allow the cheesecake to rest in the oven for 1 hour before placing into the refrigerator, and cooling 4 hours to overnight.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality cream cheese as it makes for a smoother and creamier texture.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before using; this will help it blend smoothly.
  • Beat the cream cheese until light and fluffy; this will help incorporate air and make the cheesecake light and airy.
  • Gradually add the sugar while continuing to beat the cream cheese; this will help prevent the cheesecake from becoming grainy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition; this will help prevent the cheesecake from curdling.
  • Line the springform pan with parchment paper to prevent the crust from sticking.
  • Bake the cheesecake in a water bath; this will help prevent the cheesecake from cracking.
  • Let the cheesecake cool completely before serving; this will help it set properly.
  • Serve the cheesecake with your favorite toppings, such as fresh berries, whipped cream, or caramel sauce.
