Description

Enjoy the fluffy and light Jiggly Japanese Cheesecake with this easy-to-follow recipe. Delight your taste buds with the perfect balance of sweetness and creaminess in every bite.


Ingredients

Cheesecake Base:

  • 120g whole milk
  • 55g unsalted butter
  • 226g full-fat cream cheese
  • 40g cake flour
  • 15g cornstarch
  • A Pinch of salt

Egg Mixture:

  • 5 medium eggs (separate yolks and whites)
  • 75g fine sugar

Instructions

  1. Prep the Pan & Oven – Line an 8-inch (20 cm) round pan with parchment. Preheat oven to 150°C (300°F). Fill a large baking pan with hot water (halfway).
  2. Heat & Mix Base – Combine cream cheese, butter, and milk in a saucepan. Heat on low until smooth. Remove from heat. Sift in flour, cornstarch, and salt. Mix until lump-free.
  3. Add Egg Yolks – Stir in egg yolks one at a time, mixing well after each.
  4. Whip the Whites – Beat egg whites on low, gradually adding sugar in small batches. Increase speed until soft peaks form. Note: If your sugar is coarse, blend it briefly to make it superfine, then measure.
  5. Fold & Bake – Gently fold whipped whites into the batter with a spatula until well combined. Do NOT over mix. Pour batter into pan. Bake in water bath: 30 min (oven closed), 20 min (door slightly open), 20 min (oven closed again).
  6. Check for Doneness – Aim for a golden top, soft jiggle in the center, and springy texture.
  7. Final Touch – Once baked, gently flip the cheesecake onto a plate, then flip again.

Notes

  • Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for best results.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter to maintain the cake’s airy texture.
  • Adjust sugar quantity based on personal preference for sweetness.
