Japanese Cheesecake Ingredients:
120g white chocolate
120g spreads cheese type Philadelphia
3 eggs
How to make Japanese cheesecake:
We separate the yolks from the whites and place the whites in the refrigerator until they are used.
Melt the white chocolate in the water bath (we can also melt it in the microwave with intervals of 20 seconds and stirring until it melts), mix well.
Next we add the cream cheese and with a spoon we mix well until both ingredients are completely united. Remove the bowl from the saucepan and let the mixture cool.
Preheat the oven to 170º, pour two fingers of water in the oven tray.
We add the 3 yolks. Mix well until all the ingredients are integrated.
We mount the egg whites until stiff (you will know that they are mounted on the verge of snow when you turn the bowl and the whites do not fall), add 1/3 of the whites until stiff to the mixture of white chocolate and cheese , and mix with enveloping movements. Then we add the remaining 2/3 and mix again with enveloping movements. We reserve
Prepare a 12 cm mold with a little butter or margarine and pour the preparation with a few small strokes on the table so that no air bubbles are trapped in the mixture. We can also use greased baking paper in the mold to further facilitate demolding.
We take to the oven and bake at 170º heat up and down for 15 minutes. After the time we lower the temperature to 160º and bake for another 15 minutes. When the cooking time is over, we turn off the oven and leave the cake inside the oven with it turned off for another 15 minutes.
Remove the mold from the oven. We leave the cake a few minutes inside the mold and then carefully unmold on a rack to cool completely.
This Japanese cheesecake is delicious by itself, although you can also sprinkle some icing sugar on top or accompany it with an ice cream ball for example.
