Japanese soufflé cheesecake! Who can not love it?
Soufflé cheesecake is so fluffy and airy almost like a cross between a chiffon cake and a pancake. It has a light cheesy flavor to it.
I made a soufflé cheesecake with a rice cooker. NO oven! NO heating! Never messing it up!
If you notice that I rarely post baking recipe it's because I'm not so good at it... haha
However as my boys are getting older, they are asking me for some sweets.
So I thought it's time to starting baking.
The soufflé cheesecake is very light! It's a perfect treat for the hot & humid summer.
Enjoy cheese-caking!

Just what I was looking for this Valentine's Day! It was easy to make the batter, but the rice cooker part is tricky. My American Hamilton Beach cooker needed a circle of greased parchment paper in the bottom to help the cake release. Also, its "regular" cycle timer was far too short: the center was still liquid. I ended up adding +20 minutes in 5-minute increments. The flavor is lovely. Thank you, Miwa!
