Time 3h10m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, cubed
½ cup milk
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
10 tablespoons cake flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
6 egg yolks
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
6 egg whites
¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
⅛ teaspoon salt
10 tablespoons superfine sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8-inch round cake pan and line with parchment paper.
  • Place cream cheese in a bowl with milk; soak for 20 minutes.
  • Heat cream cheese with milk and butter in the top of a double boiler over simmering water, stirring frequently, until melted and smooth, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cool completely, at least 15 minutes.
  • Sift cake flour and cornstarch together into a bowl. Sift again into the cream cheese mixture; mix well. Add egg yolks and lemon juice and mix well.
  • Beat egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt together in a separate bowl using an electric mixer until foamy; add sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, beating well after each addition. Continue beating on high speed until soft peaks form.
  • Fold cream cheese mixture into egg white mixture until well mixed; pour into the prepared pan. Place pan inside a larger baking dish and fill the baking dish with water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the cake pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cheesecake is set and golden brown on top, about 1 hour 10 minutes. Turn off oven and leave cake in oven with door ajar for 1 hour. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

This cheesecake was too dense for my taste. I prefer a lighter, fluffier cheesecake.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cheesecake didn't turn out as fluffy as I expected. It was still tasty, though.

This Japanese cheesecake is the fluffiest and lightest cheesecake I've ever had! It's so airy and melts in your mouth. I loved the subtle tanginess from the cream cheese and the sweetness from the honey.
