• In the bowl of a food processor, combine the graham crackers, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and the melted butter. Pulse to combine until the texture is similar to wet sand.
• Press the graham cracker crumbs into the prepared pan, using a measuring cup to compact in even layer.
• Bake for 8-10 minutes, until golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool to room temperature.
• Once cool, line the sides of the springform pan with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, remaining 2 cups (400 G) of sugar, and the salt. Using an electric hand mixer, blend until well-combined and fluffy.
• Add the heavy cream and beat to incorporate.
• Add the sour cream, flour, salt, and vanilla bean seeds, and beat to combine.
• Add the eggs, 1 at a time, and mix until fully combined, making sure not to over-beat. The mixture should be smooth and creamy.
• Pour the cream cheese mixture into the cooled crust.
• Wrap the outside of the springform pan tightly with foil and place the pan in a large baking dish. Fill the dish with 1 inch (2 cm) of boiling water.
• Gently transfer the baking dish to the oven and bake for 1 hour.
• Without opening the oven door, turn off the heat and let the cheesecake rest for 1 hour.
• Remove the springform pan from the baking dish and unwrap the foil. Run a paring knife gently around the outside of the cheesecake to loosen it from the sides of the pan.
• Cover the pan with plastic wrap and transfer to the refrigerator overnight.
• Remove the cheesecake from the refrigerator and release the springform pan. Remove the parchment paper lining.
• Top with fresh berries, if desired.

FLUFFY JIGGLY JAPANESE CHEESECAKE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 320°F (160°C).
• In a small pot over medium heat, whisk together the butter, cream cheese, and milk until melted and smooth. Remove from the heat and let cool.
• In a large bowl, whisk the egg yolks until smooth, then slowly drizzle in the cream cheese mixture, stirring until evenly combined.
• Sift in the flour and the cornstarch, whisking to make sure there are no lumps.
• In another large bowl, beat the egg whites with a hand mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar while continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.
• Fold about ¼ of the egg whites and into the yolk mixture, then repeat with the remaining egg whites until the batter is evenly combined.
• Grease the bottom of a 9 x 3-inch (23 x 7.5 cm) round cake pan, then line the bottom and sides with parchment paper. If using a springform pan, make sure to wrap the bottom and sides completely in foil twice to prevent any leakage.
• Pour the batter into the pan and shake to release any large air bubbles.
• Place the pan into a larger baking dish lined with 2 paper towels at the bottom. The paper towels ensure that the heat is distributed evenly along the bottom of the pan. Fill the larger pan about 1-inch (2-cm) high with hot water.
• Bake for 25 minutes, then reduce the heat to 285°F (140°C), and bake for another 55 minutes, until the cake has risen to almost double its original height.
• Remove from oven, and carefully invert the cake onto your dominant hand and peel off the paper. Be extremely careful, the cake will be hot. You can also invert the cake onto a plate, but this will cause the cake to deflate more.
• Dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar, then slice and serve with strawberries while still warm!
• Enjoy!
