Hi Jenny,

Try steam bake and using only 160C.
Don't overwhip your egg white - soft peak will do.

Hi wink aka Diana,

This cheesecake ..mmm...how to describe ah..? Not bad lah... this cheesecake doesn't stick to your knife when you slice it. I quite like the taste though.

Hi Aunty Yochana

I love Japanese Cheese Cake! I have tried making a few times but sometimes, it would crack on the top. Do you have any idea why?

Heez. Your cheese cake looks so yummy! I would like to try baking one using your recipe. Just wondering, what does it mean by wrapping the baking tin with aluminium foil? Do you cover the top as well?

Thanks.

Hi shiyan,

wrap with aluminium at the base till the rim of your cake tin to prevent water from seeping into the cake. No need to cover the top.

If your cheesecake crack, probably your temperature could be too high or bake too long. Use room temperature cream cheese to prevent cracks.

Hi Aunty,

Can I steam the cake instead of steam bake?
