Cooking steps
Preparing the Cheesecake
- Grease and line a 9-inch spring form tin.
- Melt together the Kiri cheese, butter and milk in the microwave for roughly 1 1/2 minutes. Whisk the mix until there are no more lumps.
- Whisk in the egg yolk, lemon juice, vanilla extract and half the sugar.
- Place a sieve over the bowl and add in the cake flour, corn starch and salt and sieve into the cream cheese mix.
- Whisk in the dry ingredients until there are no more lumps. Set aside.
- Using a mixer, whip the egg whites with the whisk attachment on medium speed. When the meringue starts to take shape, add the cream of tartar.
- Once thick and at soft peak stage, slowly add the remaining sugar. Whip until meringue turns glossy.
- Fold 1/3 of meringue mixture into the cream cheese batter to loosen the mixture.
- Fold in the remaining meringue until blended.
- Pour the cheesecake batter into the prepared cake pan.
- Place the cake pan in the larger dish then place both in the oven.
- Pour hot water into the water bath until about half way up the sides of the cake pan. Be careful not to splash water into the batter.
- Bake on the bottom rack in a preheated 200C oven for 18 minutes, then lower to 160C for 12 mins only. Turn off the oven and open the door slightly for 30 minutes only.
- Remove from the oven completely to cool at room temperature.
- Turn out the cheesecake from the pan onto a cake plate and serve!
