JAPANESE COTTON CHEESECAKE


At last, made this last night after so much KIVs...hehehe.  Its true what is said about this incredible Japanese Cotton Cheesecake...it is nice but it is also so painfully difficult to make, terlampau banyak pantang-larang just like the macarons!

My Japanese Cotton Cheesecake did not look as it should especially its top as it cracks quite a lot due to too high heat, and I made a big  mistake of not folding it gently when adding the whisked egg white into the cheese mixture.  Well anyway, since this is my first time and I know the mistakes I did, hopefully it will turn out perfect the next time. 


Apa-apa pun Japanese Cotton Cheesecake ini tersangatlah sedap dan tersangatlah yummy.  It is a very delicate cheesecake, with a soft, moist, light and fluffy crumb, so irresistible! You can never get enough with only a slice!...Not to worry as this cheesecake is a diet-friendly dessert as it uses less cream cheese, sugar and fat than the regular normal cheesecake....

Recipinya senang untuk prepare kerana ianya memerlukan cuma sedikit bahan dan prosesnya pun mudah cuma perlu berhati-hati membuat meringue kerana ianya yang akan menentukan samada cake ini menjadi atau tidak.  Putih telur hendaklah dipukul/whipped to soft peaks and to be easily incorporated into the cream cheese mixture without deflating them.  Suhu oven hendaklah betul tidak terlalu panas supaya bahagian atas cake tidak masak terlalu cepat dan crack dan bahagian dalam tidak masak dengan elok.

Saya kongsi di bawah ini resipi untuk membuat Japanese Cotton Cheesecake ini dari blog  Home Cooking Adventure dan berharap anda akan mencubanya.  Saya percaya anda tidak akan menyesalinya kerana ianya tersangatlah yummy.

Happy baking my friends!  Maaf ye resipi ini dalam bahasa Inggeris...malas nak translate! huhuhu.
