how to cook Lemon Japanese Souffle Cheesecake?

STEP 1

To start, preheat the oven to 150°C (300⁰F). Take a medium bowl and put the ricotta in it. Add milk and lemon juice, then blend everything together using an immersion blender until it becomes smooth.

TIPS: You can use cottage cheese instead of ricotta. But remember, the quality of your cottage cheese matters. Opt for a fatty, non-acidic, and not overly dried variety. This will ensure a velvety and tender texture for your cheesecake. Trust me, it’s worth it!

TIPS: If you’re lacking an immersion blender, fear not. Simply rub the ricotta or cottage cheese through a fine sieve a couple of times until you achieve the desired consistency. Patience pays off!

Next, transfer the ricotta-lemon mixture into a large bowl. Pour in condensed milk, add lemon zest, and egg yolks. Continue mixing everything with a mixer until it is well combined.

STEP 3

In a separate medium bowl, place the room temperature egg whites. Add a pinch of salt and beat them with a mixer until stiff peaks form.

TIPS: Remember to take the eggs out of the refrigerator in advance so that the egg whites can reach room temperature. Cold egg whites don’t whip well.

TIPS: Don’t worry if the cheesecake sinks a bit after baking. It won’t impact the delicious taste, smooth texture, or beautiful appearance of this dessert, especially if you garnish it with berries and a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
