How to Make Japanese Cheesecake
Go back Print version

Time: --
Complexity: easily

The delicate, velvety texture of Japanese cheesecake is achieved by using low-protein flour in the recipe. The surface of Japanese cheesecake tends to rise to the point of collapsing, ruining its shape. Therefore, to prevent cracking, bake at a low temperature of 150°C (312°F) and use a water bath. If the cake rises too much, the oven temperature is too high and should be reduced. To prevent the Japanese cheesecake from collapsing too quickly, let it cool gradually with the oven door slightly ajar.

1/4 cup (st.) - 60 ml.
