Method

How to make Japanese cheesecake

First of all, place a pan on the heat with plenty of water; you will need this step for cooking in a bain-marie in the oven.

Then whip together the soft butter, vanilla, lemon peel and half the sugar to obtain a very soft and fluffy mixture. add the spreadable cheese to this and continue whisking to obtain a creamy mixture:

Finally, add the flour and starch to the egg mixture, alternating with the liquid cream, always mixing everything very well.

Then separately whip the egg whites with the other half of the sugar, the cream of tartar, the lemon juice and the pinch of salt until you obtain a shiny and frothy mixture:

At this point slowly incorporate the egg whites into the mixture in 3 – 4 batches.

I recommend this step which must be slow, the egg whites must not be disassembled but you must incorporate them from bottom to top with a spatula very delicately.

Finally, pour into a baking pan 20 – 22 cm non-zippered so no water gets in And no wider otherwise the Japanese cheesecake will be low.

Line the bottom and sides with baking paper (greasing with butter so that it stays firm) and make sides 13 – 14 cm high so that they come out from the edge. This trick will allow the base to grow without coming out. , since it will rise a lot during cooking and you will get a Cotton Cheesecake just like the original!

At this point, without moving the pan too much, place it delicately in a baking tray 3 – 4 cm high and pour in the boiling water at least 3 inches, preparing everything for cooking in a bain-marie in the oven:

Finally, insert the pan with the entire cake tin into a previously preheated static oven. Cook for the first 20 minutes at 200° without ever opening the oven, then lower it to 140° and complete cooking for another 40 minutes. Once the indicated time has elapsed, turn off the oven and leave it closed for another half hour so that it settles

Only at the end of the indicated times take it out of the oven and wait about 20 minutes before removing from the mold (helping yourself with the edges of baking paper).
