We're Making the Ultimate Japanese Cheesecake with Just 3 Ingredients - Velvety and Soft as a Cloud

The article presents a simple recipe for Japanese cheesecake with just three ingredients: white chocolate, cream cheese, and eggs. Japanese cheesecake differs from the classic version as it is fluffier and lighter, resembling a soufflé. The recipe involves melting the white chocolate, mixing it with the cream cheese and egg yolks, and incorporating the whipped egg whites into meringue. The mixture is baked in a water bath (bain-marie) at 170 degrees Celsius for 15 minutes, and then left in the oven turned off for another 15 minutes. The article emphasizes that Japanese cheesecake is ideal for any occasion and can be decorated with jam, powdered sugar, or fresh fruit. The water bath is the secret to achieving its velvety texture.
