Japanese Cottony Cheesecake !

Japanese Cottony Cheesecake

Heii guys. Today i baked Japanese cotton cheese cake. It is so different with the last one (failed cheddar cheese cake). This cake made from cream cheese and it is so amazing delicious. Its melted straight away in your mouth when you bite it. Yummy ~~

This is my first time baking cottony cheese cake and turn out pretty good, although it shrink a little bit :( but still not disappointing !

Inside the cake is so soft and spongy, regardless of bad cutting. Ough ! that's because of my knife not sharp. and its too late to realized :(:(:( please ignore it . hehe

I found this recipe at Little Teochew which it stated that the original recipe is from Diana's Dessert :) . I really hope one day I could be as great as them :)hehehe

Japanese Cottony Cheesecake Recipe :

Ingredient A

250g cream cheese

100ml milk

50g Butter

Ingredient B

6 eggs yolks

60g all purpose flour

20g corn flour

1/4 tsp salt

Ingredient C

6 eggs whites

140g granulated sugar

1/4 tsp cream of tartar

Step-by-step :

1. Prepare Springform baking tray lining with baking paper. Cut baking paper higher than the tray around 1.5 inches to prevent cake pour out when its rising.

2. Fold aluminium foil surrounding the bottom and side of the tray and prepare one 8" square aluminium foil to cover the top of the tray.

3. Melt cream cheese, butter and milk with double boiler, leave it cool and sieve it after that.

4. Mix melted ingredient A with beaten egg yolks, followed by cake flour, corn flour and salt. Sieve it again.

(sieve batter is a need in order to prevent lumps in the cake. I want my cake to be mixed evenly and have soft cotton effect, not lumpy)

5. Preheat oven in 160C with water bath. Prepared water bath with 4 egg tarts mould filling with water, put it at each corner of the oven.

6. Whisk egg whites with cream of tar tar until foamy. Add in sugar slowly and whisk until soft peaks form. Turn the egg whites bowl into upside down, if it doesnt move, means its ready.

7. Add 1/3 of eggs whites into cream cheese mixture, fold well. When all egg whites well combined, add another 1/3 of eggs whites and repeat it.

8. Pour batter into 8" prepared baking tray. Cover with 8" aluminium foil on top.

9. Bake for 1 hour, take away aluminium foil on top and bake another 10 minutes until top of the cake get brown.

10. Turn off the power, and let the cake cool inside the oven with door open slightly ajar.

Space to improve :

1. of course, I need to get sharper knife. hahas !

2. While folding the egg whites, must be clock wise to the center, to press out all the air inside which resulting big bubbles. (my cake is soft enough but still not smooth enough as in the bubble shown in the picture)

3. Find out why my cake is shrinking down. maybe something to do with the water bath or the way of colling down. 

Hope you enjoy !!! Feel free to drop comment for any enquiry and do subscribe ^.^ Cya ;)

Recipes : Chocolate Truffles & Tequila Chocolate Truffles

Heii.. today wanted to share my truffles recipe to you guys :)

Its my first time to do it, so, looks abit weird, but my dad n mom said it nice, and they pack few pieces to my uncles who volunteer his tequilla for me :) thanks uncle :*

Okay, so i was wanted to make truffles for my boyfriend's birthday gift. i was searching and searching for the recipe and it suggest to put alcohol into it. but i have no idea about alcohol thingy cos i dont drink (so good girl^.^). i went to a duty free shop and founded actually alchohol is so expensive -.-" so i went to my uncle house to get it for free :D:D:D

I have made two kind of truffles, which is traditional truffles with choco powder coating and tequila chocolate truffles.

It is pretty easy to make, but will make ur time to clean is, cos u will be kinda messy trust me. here is my recipe of my truffles !

Chocolate truffles recipe in grams

ganache: 

227 grams         Semi-Sweet chocolate, chop into small pieces

120 ml              Non diary whipping cream

2     tbs             Unsalted Butter

4     tbs             Tequila, alcohol

Coating:

Chocolate powder and melting chocolate

Step by step:

1. Finely chop chocolate into small pieces in order to melt it evenly, set aside in non stick bowl

2. Cook non diary whipping cream with butter with small fire until it start to bubble at the side and butter melted is enough. DO NOT cook it too long, we do not want to cook it.

3. Pour cream and butter into the chocolate and let it stay for a minute to melt the chocolate, and stir with spatula. It become ganaches :)

(optional)

4. devide the ganaches into two bowl. one is without alcohol, traditional truffles.

5. Pour tequila into the second bowl and mix well. (note: I put more alcohol as the tequila my uncle give is too long, thus i put more, this will cause the ganaches too soft. 2 tbs is recommended)

6. Cover ganached with tight plastic and refrigirated for at least 2 hours, best is overnight.

7. Ater the ganaches firm enough, scoop with spoon and roll is like a ball. After that refrigirate for 30 minutes before coating.

8. While waiting, prepared the cocoa powder and melt chocolate for coating.

Note :

- I choose melt chocolate for my tequila truffles as it too soft, but it give best effect cause the runny ganached wont melt away when set in room temperature.

- While melting the chocolate coating, make sure its not over cook with high temperature. Melt it with shimmering water with double boiler, and make sure the water remain hot or else the chocolate will get harden and its a waste

- If the melted chocolated harden or siezed, DO NOT throw away. Keep it for next baking ingredients like Cupcakes and so on.

- If ganached is failed. DO NOT throw away, could jam it to bread or cookies like Nuttela :)

Hope you guys enjoy it :)
