Ingredients

  • 90 g Cream Cheese (room temperature, cut into cubes)
  • 30 g Unsalted Butter (melted)
  • 35 ml Whole Milk (cold)
  • 60 g Granulated Sugar (divided for batter and egg whites)
  • 30 g All-Purpose Flour (sifted)
  • 10 g Cornstarch (sifted with flour)
  • 3 pieces Eggs (large, separated into whites and yolks)
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract (pure vanilla)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan

    Melt 30 g butter, brush the bottom and sides of the oval springform pan, then line it with parchment paper cut to fit, leaving the paper about 1 cm higher than the rim.

    Time: PT5M

  2. Set Up Water Bath and Preheat Oven

    Place the prepared pan on a rack inside a baking sheet. Fill the sheet with hot water until it reaches about 2 cm depth. Preheat the oven to 120 °C (248 °F) and turn the fan off.

    Time: PT10M

    Temperature: 120°C

  3. Melt Butter

    In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter until just liquid, then remove from heat.

    Time: PT2M

  4. Make the Cream Cheese Base

    Add the cream cheese cubes, 35 ml milk, and 60 g sugar to the melted butter. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.

    Time: PT5M

  5. Incorporate Dry Ingredients

    Sift together 30 g all‑purpose flour and 10 g cornstarch, then stir into the cream cheese mixture until just combined.

    Time: PT2M

  6. Add Egg Yolks

    Stir the three egg yolks into the batter until evenly distributed.

    Time: PT2M

  7. Beat Egg Whites

    Using the mixer on speed 2, beat the three egg whites until soft peaks form (about 30 seconds). Add the remaining sugar in three equal batches, beating 20‑25 seconds after each addition, then continue until stiff peaks develop (about 1‑1.5 minutes total).

    Time: PT5M

  8. Fold Egg Whites into Batter

    Take about one‑third of the whipped whites and gently fold into the yolk‑cream mixture to lighten it. Then fold in the remaining whites in two additions, using a spatula and a gentle circular motion until just combined.

    Time: PT3M

  9. Transfer to Pan

    Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Tap the pan gently on the countertop four to five times to release trapped air.

    Time: PT2M

  10. First Bake – Low Heat

    Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 60 minutes at 120 °C with the door closed.

    Time: PT1H

    Temperature: 120°C

  11. Top‑Browning

    After 60 minutes, increase the oven temperature to 150 °C and bake for an additional 5‑7 minutes, watching for a light golden color on the surface.

    Time: PT7M

    Temperature: 150°C

  12. Gradual Cooling in Oven

    Turn off the oven, slightly crack the door open for about 10 seconds, then close it and let the cake sit inside for 10 minutes.

    Time: PT10M

  13. Cool on Rack

    Remove the pan from the oven, run a thin knife around the edges if needed, then place the cake on a wire rack to cool for 15 minutes.

    Time: PT15M

  14. Refrigerate Before Serving

    After the cake has cooled to room temperature, refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight) to set the texture.

    Time: PT0M

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about this recipe

Q

What is the cultural significance and history of Japanese cheesecake in Japanese cuisine?

A

Japanese cheesecake, also called "Soufflé cheesecake," was popularized in the 1980s by Japanese patissier Tomoe Horikawa. It blends Western cream cheese cake with the light, airy texture of a soufflé, reflecting Japan’s post‑war fascination with Western desserts while adapting them to a softer, less sweet palate.

cultural
Q

What are the traditional regional variations of Japanese cheesecake in Japanese cuisine?

A

In Osaka, the cake is often baked at a slightly higher temperature for a firmer crust, while in Hokkaido bakers add a touch of milk powder for extra richness. Some regions also incorporate yuzu zest for a citrus note.

cultural
Q

How is Japanese cheesecake traditionally served in Japan?

A

It is usually served chilled, sliced into neat wedges, and sometimes dusted with powdered sugar or accompanied by fresh berries. In cafés, it may be plated with a drizzle of fruit coulis.

cultural
Q

During which occasions is Japanese cheesecake traditionally enjoyed in Japanese culture?

A

Japanese cheesecake is a popular treat for tea time, birthdays, and seasonal celebrations such as sakura (cherry blossom) festivals, where it may be flavored with matcha or sakura syrup.

cultural
Q

What authentic ingredients are essential for a traditional Japanese cheesecake versus common substitutes?

A

Authentic Japanese cheesecake uses cream cheese, unsalted butter, whole milk, egg whites, and a small amount of flour and cornstarch. Substitutes like mascarpone or Neufchâtel can be used, but they change the texture; low‑fat cream cheese will make the cake less moist.

cultural
Q

What other Japanese dishes pair well with Japanese cheesecake?

A

A light green tea (sencha) or a cup of hojicha balances the cheesecake’s sweetness. For a full Japanese‑style dessert platter, serve it alongside mochi ice cream or dorayaki.

cultural
Q

What are the most common mistakes to avoid when making Japanese cheesecake?

A

Common errors include opening the oven too early, using a fan‑assisted setting, over‑mixing the batter, and beating the egg whites insufficiently. Each of these can cause the cake to sink or become dense.

technical
Q

Why does this Japanese cheesecake recipe use a low oven temperature of 120 °C instead of a higher temperature?

A

The low temperature allows the cake to rise slowly and evenly, creating the characteristic fluffy, soufflé‑like interior without forming a hard crust that would trap steam and cause cracking.

technical
Q

Can I make Japanese cheesecake ahead of time and how should I store it?

A

Yes, bake the cheesecake a day ahead, let it cool completely, then wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate. It keeps well for up to five days and can be served chilled or at room temperature for about 30 minutes before slicing.

technical
Q

What texture and appearance should I look for when the Japanese cheesecake is done?

A

The top should be lightly golden and set, while the interior remains soft, jiggly, and slightly wobbling when the pan is gently shaken. A springform pan release will show a smooth, dome‑shaped cake.

technical
Q

What does the YouTube channel Diễm Nauy specialize in?

A

The YouTube channel Diễm Nauy focuses on Vietnamese home cooking, offering clear step‑by‑step tutorials for both classic Vietnamese dishes and popular international recipes adapted for a home kitchen.
