Soufflé cheesecake

Overview

This is a very light and delicate cheesecake that tastes more refreshing and slightly lower in calories than heavy cheese. This recipe comes from "Baking with Kojima" and is suitable for a 7-inch round mold. I made a 6-inch round mold and a 4-inch heart-shaped mold.

  8. Add a small amount of fine sugar to the egg whites that have not been completely thawed, and beat at medium speed for 2 minutes. Add the remaining sugar to the egg whites in two batches. The first time, stir at low speed for 30 seconds, and the second time, stir the egg whites slowly in a circular motion. Beat until wet peaks, that is, the egg whites are shiny. Lift the egg beater and the tips of the egg whites will bend slightly downward.

  14. Place the mold into a baking pan, add hot water, and make it 1 to 1.5 cm deep (if it is a removable bottom mold, please wrap it with tin foil, or use a cake stand to place it on the baking sheet with hot water). Bake in the oven at 170°C for 15 minutes, then adjust to 160°C and bake for 25 minutes. The surface will be slightly colored. Turn off the oven and use the residual heat to steam and bake for 40 to 60 minutes. Take out the cake, cool it completely, wrap the mold with plastic wrap, put it in the refrigerator, and then unmold it before serving.
