About this recipe

This gluten-free Japanese cheesecake is delicious and you can eat it at any moment, as tea, snack, dessert, or just because. It’s super soft and fluffy!!

It’s easy to make and I like to serve it with some fresh fruit on the plate like strawberries, but normally it doesn’t take any topping.

How to make Gluten-Free Japanese Cheesecake

Preheat the oven to 150º.

Lightly grease a 9’ round cake pan with removable bottom.

In a deep-proof pan heat the cream cheese with the milk until well integrated, and the mixture is homogeneous. Remove from the fire.

Add the cornstarch and mix well. Add the egg yolks, and the lemon juice and mix until incorporated.

In another bowl beat the egg whites with the rest of the sugar (50gr) to form stiff peaks.

Add the egg whites, little by little,  into the cream cheese mixture and mix with encircling movements with a rubber spatula.

Pour the mixture into the prepared pan.

Cook in a double boiler at 300ºF for 30 minutes. Then turn to 320ª for about 50 minutes more. Keep in mind that all ovens are different.

Let cool before removing.
