Souffle Cheesecake

Recipe / Naomi Sherman

Made famous in Japan, this light-as-air cheesecake is surprisingly simple and so delicious.

Makes: 1 cheesecake

3 eggs, separated

120g white chocolate

120g cream cheese

1. Preheat your oven to 170°C and grease and line a small casserole dish or springform pan. Grease the inside surface of the lining to help the cake rise and fall without cracking.

2. Melt the white chocolate in a double boiler or in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring occasionally.

3. Once the chocolate has melted, remove from the heat and stir the cream cheese through until completely combined.

4. Once the cream cheese is blended with the chocolate, add the egg yolks and mix well.

5. Meanwhile, whip the egg whites until firm peaks appear and then slowly fold the egg whites in stages through the chocolate mixture.

6. Pour into the prepared baking dish.

7. Boil the kettle and sit a large shallow tray on the bottom shelf of the oven. Pour boiling water in it to create a steamy environment for the cake to cook.

8. Cook the cheesecake for 15 mins then reduce the oven to 150°C and cook for a further 15 mins.
