It is necessary
- - cream - cheese (Mascarpone, Philadelphia or any similar) - 500 g;
- - eggs - 4 pcs.;
- - butter - 70 g;
- - flour - 60 g;
- - corn starch - 1, 5 tablespoons;
- - milk - 170 ml;
- - sugar - 0, 7 tbsp.
Instructions
Step 1
A few hours before the cheesecake is prepared, the food must be removed from the refrigerator so that it is at room temperature by the time it is cooked. Better to use a split baking dish. The texture of this cheesecake is very delicate, so it is very difficult to remove it from its usual form without damaging it. Since the dish will be in water during baking, it is necessary to isolate all possible leaks. We wrap the form with foil along the outer edge.
Step 2
We will cook the dough in a water bath. Take a saucepan with a wide bottom, pour boiling water into it so that the water is about 2-3 cm high. Put a bowl of cheese in hot water and add milk to it. Cut the butter into pieces and send it there. Using a hand blender, beat the mixture until smooth.
Step 3
Sift flour with starch and add a little to a bowl, stirring gently so that there are no lumps left.
Step 4
Separate the yolks from the proteins. Beat the yolks with 2 tablespoons of sugar until the yolks lighten. Mix the whipped yolks with the dough.
Step 5
Beat the whites until white foam. Continuing to beat, add sugar in a thin stream. Whisk until firm white peaks. In several steps we alter the proteins with the main mixture. We try to do everything quickly, but carefully so that the mixture retains its airiness.
Step 6
Now you need to cover the mold with parchment to prevent the cheesecake from sticking to the mold. Pour the dough into a mold.
Step 7
Preheat the oven to 150 degrees. Pour finger-high water into a deep baking sheet and place a mold with dough in it. We bake for an hour and 20 minutes. Then we take the form out of the oven and leave the cheesecake to stand for a while. Turn the finished cheesecake over and decorate with powdered sugar, berries or grated chocolate as desired.
