Such A Delicious Japanese Cheesecake Recipe

For someone who rarely bake a cake or any sweet desserts, I have a few reasons why I baked this Japanese Cheesecake, not once but several times this past spring and summer.

The number one reason is that I have so many, I mean, SO MANY requests from readers for this cake. Thank you everyone who patiently waited for this Japanese Cheesecake recipe. I told some readers that I'd share "soon" but it took me a little longer than I initially expected – I'm sorry about my delay. I really wanted to try different recipes and tested them all out before sharing the recipe.

The second reason is that my husband really loves cheesecake available in Japan. It's light, but still creamy, and fluffy…oh he didn't mind at all tasting all of my trials and he really enjoyed my rare baking spree.

So at the end, I have decided to share one recipe from Cookpad which my friend had recommended me to try. Since it had a lot of positive reviews, I thought Okay, let me give it a try. I had to adapt a little bit because my cake pan is bigger and my oven acts differently from the recipe owner's, but other than that, I followed the original recipe.


Ingredients:
  • 400 g (14.1 oz) cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 60 g (6 Tbsp.) granulated sugar
  • 60 g (about 4 Tbsp.) unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 6 egg yolks, at room temperature
  • 200 ml heavy cream, at room temperature
  • 10 ml (2 tsp.) lemon juice
  • 1 Tbsp. rum
  • 80g (2.8 oz/about 8 Tbsp.) all purpose flour
  • 6 egg whites
  • 100g (10 Tbsp.) granulated sugar for meringue
  • 3 Tbsp. Apricot jam + 1 tsp. water
What you will need:
  • 9 inch non-stick springform pan
  • Parchment paper
  • Aluminum foil
  • Cooking spray
  • Boiled water
  • Large baking pan that fits a springform pan
Instructions:
  1. Before you start preparing, remember to keep cream cheese, butter, egg yolks, and heavy cream at room temperature.
  2. In stand mixer, beat cream cheese and 60g granulated sugar until smooth. Add and beat butter.
  3. Beat egg yolk first and then add to the mixture. Then add heavy cream and combine all together. I also switched to a whisk here.
  4. Add lemon juice and rum and mix until the batter is very smooth.
  5. Take the batter out to a large bowl. Wash the stand mixer’s bowl and dry completely.
  6. Add 1/3 of meringue to the batter and mix well first.
  7. Then add the rest of meringue all at once and fold it in (not mix this time).
  8. Cut parchment paper for the bottom and around the springform pan. Lightly spray oil on the cake pan and place the parchment paper. Spray oil again on the paper and sprinkle some flour on the bottom. Cover the bottom of the pan and fold the extra foil on the side. The foil is to prevent water from seeping through the gap to the cake.
  9. Pour the batter in the springform pan and then drop the cake pan from about 6 inch high to get rid of the any air bubble.
  10. Place the springform pan in the baking pan and pour 1 inch of hot water in a baking pan. Moisture from the water will prevent cracks on the surface of the cake. Place it in the middle rack of the oven.
  11. Bake at 320F (160C) for 60 minutes or until light golden brown. Then reduce temperature to 300F (150C) degree and bake for 30 minutes.
  12. When the inserted skewer comes out clean, turn off the oven. Let the cake sit in the oven with the door slightly ajar until it has cooled completely.

Quick Healthy Snacks Which Will Provide You With All The Essential Nutrients


Healthy Snacks
Snacks or mini meals are a very essential part of a healthy diet as it is not right to keep the body hungry for a very long time. If the body is kept hungry, blood-sugar levels fall. As blood-sugar levels go down, a person becomes even more hungry. This results in the person eating at wrong hours and eating whatever he can lay his hands on. This could lead to weight gain and prove detrimental to the health. So having three large meals with two mini meals or snacks is very essential to keep the body healthy. Here are some items that make for quick healthy snacks consumed directly or their recipes take only a few minutes to prepare.

Easy and Quick Healthy Snacks

Delectable Veg Snacks
Vegetables are full of minerals and vitamins and have very less calories. Vegetable salads make delicious low carb snacks. Here are a few easy healthy snacks recipes made out of vegetables.
  • Recipe 1: Take one cup low-fat cottage cheese and add half a teaspoon of lemon pepper to it to make a low calorie dip. Now select any crunchy vegetable like carrots or radish and have it with the dip.
  • Recipe 2: Take raw vegetables and add chunks of hard-boiled eggs and tuna to it. Add a low fat salad dressing. Now rap these ingredients in a large leaf of lettuce and one of your quick healthy snacks is ready to serve.
  • Recipe 3: Sandwiches can be prepared at home very easily. Take two slices of whole wheat bread and apply butter or low fat cheese on them. Cut vegetables such as tomatoes, cucumber and carrots and place them in between the two slices. Add salt and pepper according to your taste and one of the healthy snacks for weight loss is ready. You may have the sandwich with any sauce.
Other quick healthy snacks may include salads made of vegetables such as mushrooms, green beans, bell peppers, tomatoes,celery, carrots and broccoli with salad dressings like olive oil and rice vinegar. Wraps such as chicken salad wraps, or turkey wraps with healthy portions of veg stuffing make for quick healthy snacks.

Fruitful Delights
Fruits such as raspberries, cranberries, blackberries, strawberries, watermelons, apples, apricots, grapefruit and kiwis are not only high fiber snacks but they have very less calories, too. You can even make easy, quick healthy snacks using these different fruits. Simply thread small chunks of fruits, berries along with cottage cheese onto a wooden skewer and you have a yummy snack to serve. Alternately, you can even make smoothies with fresh fruits or garnish milk and yogurt with sliced bananas or strawberries.

Dry Fruits and Nutties
Dried fruits such as raisins or plums and nuts such as almonds, cashews, walnuts, Brazils and peanuts make for extremely nutritious snacks. They are a rich source of fiber, proteins, mono-unsaturated fats, antioxidants and can be added to any low calorie snacks and meals to lend some extra taste. As they can be eaten raw they naturally fit into the quick healthy snacks list.

Chunky Yogurts
Of all the healthy snacks for kids, frozen yogurts are their favorite. Frozen yogurt contains live yogurt cultures which make them extremely rich in calcium and protein. Plain yogurt made from skimmed milk is a very good option for quick and healthy snacks. Add chunks of fresh fruits or a bit of granola on top and you will have a healthy diet snack ready.

Boiled Egg Quickies
Boiled eggs make a very healthy, high in protein and calcium snack. Here is a boiled egg recipe. Take two hard-boiled eggs and chop them into little pieces. Now add low fat mayonnaise and dill pickle relish to it. Take one whole wheat bread cracker and spread this mixture on it and your high protein snack is ready.

Quick Healthy Snacks to Munch On
Sometimes you may not be hungry but just want to munch on something while watching a movie or while traveling. In such a scenario, always choose dry healthy snacks. Popcorn is a good option. Although, buy only those varieties of popcorn which are butter less and low in sodium. Another option is low carb meal replacement bars. You may also carry baked potato chips or pepperoni chips with you.

These are a few quick healthy snacks for adults as well as children which provide the body with all the essential nutrients and at the same time do not add many calories. A few things should be kept in mind while snacking though. Firstly, keep the portion size small. Secondly, keep the snack ingredients handy so that when you are hungry, you don't have to cook or look for food. Thirdly, if possible, have snacks which have at least one of the essential nutrients, i.e. proteins, carbohydrates or fiber. Also have snacks at least an hour before the meal time so that your food intake does not get hampered. A healthy diet and a positive attitude is after all the recipe for a fit body.
