Japanese Cheesecake, unlike rich, dense American cheesecake, is a light and fluffy cake.

BatterGlaze
  • 350 g Cream cheese (at room temperature)
  • 120 ml Milk
  • 5 Egg yolks
  • 150 g Sugar
  • 50 g Cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp Lemon juice
  • 5 Egg whites
  • 1/2 tsp Lemon juice (or white vinegar)
  • 2 tbsp Apricot jam
  • 1/2 tbsp Water
  1. Pre-heat the oven to 175C/350F. Line a 26cm cake tin with greaseproof paper both bottom and the sides. If you use a spring form with a removable bottom, then you must use tin-foil to the cake tin completely to avoid the water penetrate right through to the cake.

  2. Soften the cream cheese with milk in a bowl. Add half of the caster sugar, egg yolks, cornstarch, lemon juice and combine together.
  3. Place the egg whites and lemon juice or white vinegar in a large bowl, whisking them until foamy and then keep whisking, adding the remaining sugar in 3 batches until the mixture stands in stiff peaks.

  4. Fold one third of the egg white mixture into the cream cheese mixture as gently as possible, then fold in the remaining egg white mixture gently but thoroughly. Transfer the mixture to the prepared tin and level the surface. Put the tin into a larger roasting tin and create a bain-marie by pouring boiling water in the roasting tin. Bake on the lower shelf in the oven for 60-70 minutes. Leave in the tin until cool enough to handle.
  5. Put the jam in a sauce pan on a low heat with the water and warm up until it's melted. If necessary, thicken this glaze by simmering a bit and then spread the glaze on top of the cake. If the surface of the cake becomes too dark while baking, cover with a piece of tin foil. Don't remove the cake from the tin until it's completely cool.

Choco-Matcha Swirl Cheesecake

Saturday, November 01, 2008

Not really satisfied with the result as the surface cracked although the bain-marie was applied, and the chocolate batter was not enough. Nevertheless, it tastes super!

Marzipan Biscuit CrustCheese Filling
  • 160 g All-purpose flour
  • 40 g Roasted okara, ground (or use almond meal instead)
  • 100 g Marzipan paste
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 package / 8 g Vanilla sugar
  • 100 g Butter
  • 500 g Cream cheese
  • 125 g 3.5% Yogurt
  • 120 g Sugar
  • 3 Eggs
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 200 ml Heavy cream
  • 30 g Milk chocolate
  • 15 g Matcha tea powder
    angiesrecipes
  • 4 tbsp Hot water
  1. Combine together all the ingredients for the crust. Chill for 30 minutes. Take out the dough from the fridge and press into the bottom and sides of a 26-cm springform pan lined with baking paper. Return it to the fridge and let rest for another 30 minutes.
  2. Combine together matcha tea powder and hot water in a bowl. Melt chocolate over a hot-water bath. Preheat the oven to 175C/350F. Place cream cheese, yogurt, and two thirds of sugar in a bowl set over a hot water bath. Stir until sugar dissolved and all the ingredients are well-blended. Add in egg yolks, vanilla extract and heavy cream. Mix well. Whip the egg whites and the rest of sugar until soft peak forms. Fold into the cheese mixture. Combine one fourth of the plain cheese mixture with melted chocolate, and another one fourth with matcha. So now you have 2 portions of plain cheese mixture, one chocolate-flavoured cheese, and one matcha-flavoured cheese mixture.
  3. Pour plain, chocolate and matcha cheese batters alternatively over the center of the biscuit crust in the pan. With a tip of toothpick you slide across the surface to create stripes or swirl the whole mixture with a table knife until it resembles a marbled effect.
  4. Pour the cake pan on a large baking tray and pour some hot tap water to half way up the outside of the tin to form a bain-marie. Bake for 40 minutes. Turn the oven down to 150C and bake for a further 30 minutes. Turn the oven off and leave the cake in for 30 minutes. Remove the cake from the oven and cool completely. Chill the cake overnight.
