This Japanese cheesecake has a golden baked top with a fluffy soufflé-like texture. It's easy to make with cream cheese, melted white chocolate, egg yolks, and beaten egg whites to create its signature light and airy texture.

Ingredients

  • 1 , 4 ounce
  • 0.5 cups cream cheese , softened
  • 3 large eggs , separated

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Place white chocolate in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes. Remove and allow to cool slightly. Mix in cream cheese and egg yolks until well combined.

  3. 3

    Beat egg whites in a large glass, metal, or ceramic bowl with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Fold in cooled white chocolate mixture. Pour into the prepared springform pan.

  4. 4

    Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) and bake for 15 minutes. Turn the oven off, leaving cheesecake inside for 15 more minutes.

  5. 5

    Remove cheesecake from the oven and allow to cool completely at room temperature, about 1 hour. Chill before serving, about 3 hours.
