Description
Mini Japanese soufflé cheesecakes are light, fluffy, and delicious desserts that combine the rich flavor of traditional cheesecake with the airy texture of a soufflé.
Ingredients
Scale
- 200 grams cream cheese (softened)
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs (separated into yolks and whites)
- 100 ml milk
- 30 grams unsalted butter (melted)
- 30 grams all-purpose flour
- 10 grams cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
- Fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F) and prepare a muffin tin.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth.
- Add the egg yolks, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the mixture and mix well.
- Sift the all-purpose flour and cornstarch into the mixture and fold gently.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form, then gradually add sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the cream cheese mixture in three additions.
- Spoon the batter into the muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
- Place the muffin tin in a larger baking dish and fill with hot water halfway up the sides of the muffin tin. Bake for 25-30 minutes.
- Once baked, turn off the oven and leave the cheesecakes inside for 10 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, let cool to room temperature, dust with powdered sugar, and garnish with fresh berries before serving.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For a dairy-free version, use vegan cream cheese and plant-based milk.
- For gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend.
