3-Ingredient Japanese Cheesecake
Description
This Japanese cheesecake, made with cream cheese, white chocolate, egg yolks, and whisked egg whites, is an irresistible, light, and airy dessert.
Ingredients
•
1 (4 ounce) bar white chocolate, chopped
•
1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
•
3 eggs, separated
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
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
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
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
Remove cheesecake from the oven and allow to cool completely at room temperature, about 1 hour. Chill before serving, about 3 hours.
