Japanese Cheesecake, Mango & Coconut Chantilly

Ce Japanese cheesecake with its airy texture is a real concentrate of sweetness... It will please most people, it is low in calories and low in sugar.

I am sometimes asked for lighter recipes that would be just as tasty as the others. Impossible do you think? Not that much with this Japanese cheesecake recipe which is rather light.

What is a Japanese cheesecake?

This is a cheesecake but this one has a particular texture. This Japanese version of cheesecake contains less cream cheese and sugar than the classic version of the Anglo-Saxon cheesecake. I would say it is a hybrid between the soufflé and the cheesecake!

This foamy texture is obtained by separating the egg whites from the yolks at the time of preparation. The whites are whipped into snow and then added at the last minute. This is what lightens the texture a lot. When tasting, we obtain something of very light.

How to prepare a Japanese cheesecake?

First, we prepare the mixture based on cream cheese, cream and egg yolk. Then add the flour, vanilla extract and milk.

In another container or with the robot, the whisked egg whites with the sugar and then incorporate them into the preparation (delicately). I deliberately used a narrow mold 15 cm in diameter because I wanted a result. You then have to pour the dough into this buttered and lined mold and then put it in the oven water bath. This is important to get the right texture in the final result.

I chose to accompany this Japanese cheesecake with a light whipped cream made from coconut milk and cut fruits, mango in this case. These are flavors that go so well together, and take us on a journey in the blink of an eye!

Ingredients 

• 100 g of plain Philadelphia type fresh cheese
• 50 g semi-thick full cream
• 20 g soft butter
• 2 egg yolks
• 20 g of flour
• 100 ml of milk
• 1/2 tsp natural vanilla extract
• 2 Egg whites
• 40 g powdered sugar
• 400 ml very cold, non-lightened coconut milk
• 10 cl full semi-thick cream
• Agave syrup for sweetening according to taste
• 1 mango, diced

Prepare in advance 

• Preheat the oven to 160 ° traditional heat. Grease a simple 15cm diameter mold and place a round of baking paper in the bottom.
• In a bowl, whip the cream cheese, cream and butter to obtain a homogeneous cream. Add the yolks and mix well. Incorporate the flour, then the milk and vanilla.
• Beat the egg whites with the sugar (not too firm to incorporate them well afterwards). Add these beaten whites little by little to the previous mixture, going very slowly so as not to break them. Pour the mixture into the buttered mold. Place the mold in a larger oven dish and add hot water to this oven dish about 3cm high.
• Bake for 15 minutes at 160 ° then 1 hour at 150 °. Test the cooking by inserting a wooden pick in the center of the cheesecake: if it comes out dry, it is done, otherwise continue cooking. Do not open the door immediately to avoid a temperature shock and see it deflate, leave it in the oven off for several minutes. Then put to cool on a rack then put in the fridge before unmolding.
• Prepare the whipped cream by collecting the solidified part of the can of coconut milk (do not use the coconut water contained in the can). Add the cream and agave syrup then whip in a food processor for a few minutes to obtain a supple whipped cream.
• Garnish the top of the cheesecake with coconut whipped cream then place the cut fruit.

Notes

Like all cheesecakes, it will be better for tasting the next day and the following days.
