- 2 tbsp Water
- 200 grams Mascarpone cheese
- 2 Egg yolks
- 60 grams Granulated sugar
- 200 ml Heavy cream
- 5 grams Gelatin powder
- 2 tbsp Water
- 200 grams Cream cheese
- 1 Egg
- 65 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp Cake flour (9 grams)
- 150 ml Heavy cream
- Choose your favorite recipe to bake a sponge cake (I recommend the recipe by patissier Rumi Kojima).
- Cool it off completely.
- If possible, prepare it a day in advance.
- Since the batter will be baked in a double boiler, prevent water from spilling into the cake pan by covering the bottom with aluminum foil.
- Cut off a 1.2 cm-thick layer of sponge cake and set it on the bottom of the prepared cake pan.
- The remainder of the cake will be used later.
- Preheat the oven to 160C.
- To prepare the baked cheesecake, add all of the ingredients for the baked cheesecake into a food processor and process until smooth.
- Strain the batter and pour into the cake pan with the cake layer at the bottom.
- Pour hot water into a baking dish and steam-bake the cake in the oven for 35-40 minutes at 160C.
- Bake until lightly browned.
- Let it completely cool in the pan.
- To prepare the no-bake cheesecake, sprinkle and soak the gelatin powder in 2 tablespoons of water.
- Combine all of the ingredients except for the heavy cream for the no-bake cheesecake.
- I used a food processor, but it's easier to mix it in a bowl!
- Beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
- Scoop out one ladleful of whipped cream (about 60 g) and set it aside in the refrigerator for the finishing touch!
- Microwave the gelatin for a few seconds to make it silky, add it into the no-bake cheesecake batter from Step 8, then strain it through a colander.
- Use a rubber spatula to strain, since it will not flow through the sieve.
- Mix the strained batter and the remaining whipped cream from Step 9.
- Pour the batter into the cake pan on top of the baked cheesecake.
- Smooth the surface and let it set in the freezer until it hardens.
- Meanwhile, slice off the browned surface of the sponge cake and blend the white cake in a food processor.
- There you have fluffy sponge crumbs.
- There will be leftover crumbs, which you can use in a different dessert!
- So, stay tuned...
- Once the non-bake cheesecake part sets, remove it from the pan and spread the reserved whipped cream from Step 10 on the top and sides.
- A thin layer should be enough.
- Coat the entire surface of the cake with the sponge cake crumbs.
- They may come off easily, so gently press them into the cake...
- It's done!
- It should still be frozen at this point, so thaw it before you it.
- It's hard to sit by and wait.
- Freezing the non-baked cheesecake batter makes the cake easier to handle, but if you prefer to eat it right away, set the batter in a refrigerator instead at Step 13.
- It will still need to set completely.
- The pure white and fluffy cake will bring you delight from the first bite.
- The cake is large, so eat as much as you want!
- Use the leftover sponge cake crumbs from this recipe by combining them with heavy cream and chocolate to turn them into another dessert!
- Give them a try, too
