Light Lemon Cheesecake

chheng-sńg ê cheesecake

清爽的cheesecake

I like cheesecake very much; however, I need to watch out my weight and here is a solution – light lemon cheesecake.  I like this version best because, firstly, there is no digestive biscuit needed and secondly, butter, or any form of oil, is spared too. To be honest, when I bake cheesecake, I always use low fat cheese and even yogurt serves as substitute for half of the cheese in use, which makes me feel less guilty …hahaha… However, with this recipe, I can enjoy cheesecake and not worry too much about calories intake.  The following ingredients can be made 8 muffin-sized light cheesecakes.

Ingredients:

Cream cheese: 100g (I still use low fat cream cheese; it still tastes good.)

Whole milk: 75g

Two eggs; separated white and yolks

Plain flour: 20g

Sugar: 40g

Lemon juice: 1tbsp

Zest of half lemon

Shredless lemon marmalade: 1 tbsp

Water: 1tbsp

Step-by-step:

1. Cut baking paper into the shape of the mold bottom; grease the inner circle of the mold too.

2. Preheat the oven to 135°C; at the same time, put a cup of water on the bottom rack too.

3. Blend the cream cheese with milk evenly.  Then add in yolks one by one. After making sure all ingredients mixed well, sieve in flour and spoon in lemon juice as well as zest the lemon rind and lightly whisk them combined nicely.

4. In another bowl, whisk the egg white for seconds before sugar is added in. Continually whisk the egg white till it forms soft peak with dew when lifted.

5. Fold in cream cheese mixture with the fluffy egg white and again lightly blend them evenly.

6. Pour the mixture into the baking mold and bake it in a bath for 70~80minutes. (it varies based on ovens.)

7. Let the cheese cake cool down and then turn out the cake and remove the baking paper and place it upright on a dish.

8. In a small saucepan, spoon in water and lemon marmalade; as soon as the jam melts in the water, turn off the heat and let the mixture cool down a bit. Before the mixture becomes jelly again, spread it on the surface of the cheesecake.  (optional)

(The jelly-like marmalade mixture makes the cake looks glossy.)

The photo: my second try.  It doesn't look nice, does it? I swear, it tastes really nice!

 As soon as I cut the cake, I know I made it! (I failed for the frist time; I'll show the photo below.)

Note:

這個食譜取自於周老師的美食教室, however, 我第一次是失敗的,我想這跟兩地(英國、台灣)的麵粉、牛奶等材料的質地不同有關。此一食譜的計量，就是嘗試成功後的比例改變。

My recipe originates from “Teacher Chow’s Delicacies Classroom.”  However, I failed for the first time when baking with Chow’s version.  I guess it is because the texture/quality of flour and milk or ingredients in Taiwan is slightly different from that in the UK.  Thus, I modified the scales and personally tried and make sure it works before publishing the recipe.  Hope you enjoy it!

The photo: my first try; it looks ok but the texture isn't.  btw, I added fresh blueberries in the cheese mixture.
