Fluffy Souffle Cheesecake
- 1 packages Cream cheese
- 30 grams Granulated sugar
- 30 grams Butter
- 3 Egg yolks
- 100 ml Heavy cream
- 5 ml Lemon juice
- 1/2 tbsp Rum
- 40 grams Cake flour
- 3 Egg whites
- 50 grams Granulated sugar (for meringue)
- 1 Apricot jam
- Preparation: 1.
- Bring the cream cheese, butter, egg yolks, and heavy cream to room temperature.
- 2.
- Preheat the oven to 150C (300F).
- In a bowl, add cream cheese and 30 g granulated sugar and mix together with a whisk.
- Add butter and mix well.
- Add beaten egg yolks, heavy cream, and continue mixing.
- Add lemon juice, rum, and mix until the mixture starts to thicken.
- Pour in the twice sifted cake flour all at once, and stir well with a whisk.
- Lightly beat the egg whites with a hand mixer at high.
- Divide the granulated sugar into 3 portions, and whip after each addition.
- Once the meringue turns silky and it drips off of the whisk a bit when lifted, the whipping is done.
- This is done because if the meringue is whipped excessively, it will cause the surface to crack when baked.
- Pour 1/3 of the meringue into the mixture from Step 4 with a rubber spatula, and mix well.
- Pour the rest of the meringue, and fold together gently while spinning the bowl.
- Once the surface of the batter looks shiny, pour it into a cake pan lined with parchment paper or oiled with sprinkled flour.
- Tap the pan a few times from about 30 cm above on the countertop to remove big air bubbles.
- Fill a baking sheet with hot water, and place the cake pan in the center.
- Bake for 30 minutes in preheated oven at 150C (300F), reduce the temperature to 140C (284F) and bake further for about 30-40 minutes.
- Take it out of the oven once the surface turns golden brown, and remove from the cake pan once it's completely cool.
- Mix the apricot jam and 10% of water in a small container and microwave.
- Once the jam starts to reduce, brush it over the surface while it's still hot.
- The richness of cheese and the aroma of apricot jam are delicious.
