Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line an 8 x 8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Batter:
   • In a large bowl, combine egg yolks, flour, sugar, and 1/2 cup of milk. Beat on high speed until smooth and free of lumps.
   • Add the remaining 1 1/2 cups of milk and mix on low speed until incorporated. The batter will be very thin.
3. Beat Egg Whites:
   • In a separate clean bowl, beat egg whites on high speed until stiff peaks form. Ensure your bowl and beaters are completely clean to achieve stiff peaks.
4. Fold Egg Whites:
   • Gently fold 1/3 of the egg whites into the batter using a spatula. Fold all the way from the bottom of the bowl to incorporate the whites fully. Repeat with the remaining egg whites. It’s okay to have some small lumps.
5. Bake:
   • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean and the top is evenly browned. Allow the cake to cool before removing from the pan.
6. Serving:
   • The cake can be served the same day after cooling for 1-2 hours or the next day after storing it in the fridge overnight. Dust with powdered sugar before serving if desired.

Notes

• Egg Whites: Beat egg whites only after the batter is ready. Ensure mixing bowls and beaters are thoroughly clean.
• Texture Changes: The cake’s texture changes over time; it will have a light sponge on top, a creamy custard in the middle, and a firmer layer at the bottom. The middle layer becomes more custard-like and the bottom layer resembles a pie crust if left overnight.
• Storage: Store any leftovers in the fridge.

This Japanese Soufflé Cheesecake is a versatile and light dessert that’s sure to become a favorite. Whether enjoyed fresh or after a night in the fridge, it’s a delightful treat for any occasion. For more delicious recipes and baking tips, visit our recipe collection and elevate your dessert game!
