Castella Cheese Cake

Cultural Context

Originating from the Portuguese brought to Japan in the 16th century, Castella has evolved into a beloved Japanese confection, often enjoyed with tea. The cheese cake variant combines the light, fluffy texture of traditional Castella with the rich creaminess of cheese, making it a delightful treat for special occasions. Today, variations abound, with many bakeries offering unique twists on this classic.

Bring the milk to a boil in a small saucepan.

Heat the cream cheese until soft, then add the parmesan cheese to make it smooth.

Add the warmed milk in three parts to the cheese mixture to loosen it.

7

Add the egg yolks one at a time and mix thoroughly.

8

Sift in the flour all at once and mix slowly from the center.

9

Add the oil and emulsify to complete the base.

Make the meringue by beating the egg whites and adding the sugar all at once, being careful not to overbeat.

Scoop out the meringue and add it to the base mixture, mixing gently.

12

Pour the dough into the mold and smooth the surface to eliminate air bubbles.

Pour hot water (about 40 degrees Celsius) into the mold to prevent it from floating.
