Ingredients
For the Cheesecake Batter
250 g cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs, separated
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Pinch of salt
For Topping
Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
Prepare the Oven
Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F). Line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper. Wrap the outside of the pan with foil if using a water bath.
Make the Creamy Base
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the egg yolks one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Add the Remaining Ingredients
Stir in the milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Sift in the flour and cornstarch, then mix until silky smooth.
Whip the Egg Whites
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form. Gently fold them into the cheesecake batter to keep the mixture airy and fluffy.
Bake to Perfection
Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Place the pan into a larger baking dish filled with hot water for a gentle water bath.
Bake
Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and the center is slightly jiggly.
Cool Slowly
Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly open for 15 minutes. Remove and let cool completely before chilling for at least 2 hours.
Serve & Enjoy
Dust generously with powdered sugar before serving. Slice into soft, creamy layers and enjoy every bite.
Serving Tips
Add fresh strawberries or blueberries for a fruity touch.
Drizzle with caramel or berry sauce for extra indulgence.
Best served chilled for the creamiest texture.
