The origins of Japanese Cheesecake can be traced back to the early 20th century when Western-style cheesecakes were introduced to Japan. The Japanese version, however, took a different path, evolving into a lighter, fluffier counterpart that emphasizes a delicate texture while retaining the rich flavors of traditional cheesecake. The uniqueness of Japanese Cheesecake lies in its chiffon-like consistency, which is achieved through a careful blending of ingredients and a precise baking method.

Ingredients
  

250g cream cheese, softened

50g unsalted butter

100ml full-fat milk

3 large eggs, separated

100g granulated sugar, divided

1 tsp vanilla extract

40g cake flour

20g cornstarch

A pinch of salt

Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F) and prepare a 7-inch round cake pan by greasing it lightly. Line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.

    In a medium saucepan, combine the cream cheese, unsalted butter, and milk. Heat gently over low heat, stirring until smooth and creamy. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

      In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks and half of the granulated sugar (50g) until pale and fluffy. Stir in the vanilla extract.

        Gradually add the cream cheese mixture to the egg yolk mixture. Mix until well combined.

          Sift in the cake flour, cornstarch, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until smooth and fully incorporated.

            In another clean bowl, whisk the egg whites until they become foamy. Gradually add the remaining granulated sugar (50g) and continue whisking until stiff peaks form.

              Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the cream cheese batter in three parts, being careful not to deflate the mixture.

                Pour the cheesecake batter into the prepared cake pan and tap the pan gently on the counter to release any air bubbles.

                  Place the cake pan in a larger baking dish and fill the outer dish with hot water, creating a water bath. This will help the cheesecake bake evenly and create a fluffy texture.

                    Bake in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

                      Turn off the oven and crack the oven door slightly, allowing the cheesecake to cool down gradually for about 30 minutes. This prevents it from collapsing.

                        Remove the cheesecake from the water bath and let it cool completely at room temperature. Once cool, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

                          Before serving, remove the cheesecake from the pan, dust with powdered sugar, and slice into wedges. Enjoy this fluffy delight!
