Hello Everybody!

Like every sunday, today another recipe to try! The recipe of this post is extremely easy and also very cheap: there are few steps for preparing and there are only 3 ingredients.

Very often I look for new recipes to try and to propose in my blog (my husband is very happy of this, because in this way I cook often new cakes and dishes and he “must” test each experiment!) and I figured out how I’m fascinated from the Asian cuisine, especially asian cakes and sweets, because most of them are absolutely good and often more healthy that their occidental version.

The first person who proposed this version of cheesecake is a Japanese Youtuber, called Ochikeron in 2013. At the beginning nobody notices her video, but now it is became viral! I was really curious about this version of one of my favorite cake, so I decided to try to cook it!

Let’s say what I have done and how preparing the Japanese Cheesecake

The main peculiarities of this cake are: its particular and amazing taste; the easy in which you can cook it; its absolutely particular texture. This cake melts in your mouth! The particular wet texture is obtained due to the cooking way: the cake is baked in the oven, but it is necessary some vapor for having the perfect texture.

Time to prepare 20 minutes – time to cook 30 minutes + 15 minutes of rest

Ingredient for a cake of 20 cm of diameter (of for 2 mini cakes of 10 cm of diameter, like mine)

• 120 gr of cream cheese;
• 120 gr of white chocolate;
• 3 eggs;
• Butter.

Useful tools:

• Terrines;
• Electrical whisk;
• Baking pan;
• Baking tray;
• Pot;
• Spatulas and whisk.

Procedure:

At the beginning I turned on the oven at 175 Celsius degree (about 350 Fahrenheit degrees). I used a terrine and the pot for melt the chocolate at bain-marie. I used a vanilla flavored white chocolate (this is the reason why there are some tiny black dots in my chocolate). Remember: the water in the pot must never boil, so you need to keep the power of the fire very low. In the meantime i separate the yolks from the albumens and I put the albumens in the fridge, because they are my last ingredient to use. When the chocolate was completely melted I put it in a terrina and I added the cream cheese and I blended accurately the two ingredients. In a separate terrine I beated the albumen very well (like snow) and I added the beaten albumen little by little in the main terrine. I mixed the ingredients very carefully from the bottom to the top.

The preparation was done! I put the mixture into the oiled baking pan (one or more), and I placed the baking pans on the baking tray. I added some hot water ( about 1 cm) into the baking tray for creating vapor during the baking.  I put my baking tray in the hot oven at 175 celsius degree (350 Fahrenheit degree) for 15 minutes. After that time I put the oven at 165 Celsius degrees (325 Fahrenheit degrees) for additional 15 minutes. At the end I turned off the oven and I left the cake inside for other 15 minutes. The cake was ready! You can decorate your cake with some sugar or cocoa powder.

The cake could be conserved in the fridge for few days.

Here My result!

A personal advice: do not use baking pan that has an extractable ring because in this case you have to protect the bottom of the pan with aluminum foil for avoid that the water can came in the baking pan.

The taste of this Japanese Cheesecake is somehow similar to the taste of the traditional New York cheesecake, but, in the New york cheesecake the taste of the cheese is balanced from the whipping cream, in the Japanese version it is balanced from the chocolate.

That was my first Japanese Cheesecake. It was really good, especially if you think that it contained only three ingredients! It is absolutely promoted and I added it in my personal recipe book! I’m really excited to try it again and to test new variation of this recipe!

At last this recipe allow you to recycle the chocolate of the Easter Eggs… If you still have it!
