Instructions
Step 1
Combine all the ingredients in a tall bowl.
Blend with an immersion blender until *completely smooth*, about 1.5 to 2 minutes.
Step 2
Chill the batter to *4°C (39°F)* for about 2 hours. This step is crucial for achieving the right texture in your mousse cake.
Step 3
Pour the batter through a strainer into the baking pan.
Gently stir the surface of the batter to *release air bubbles*, ensuring a smooth finish for your cake.
Step 4
Preheat the oven to *250°C (482°F)* and bake the cake for *30 minutes*.
Then, lower the temperature to *210°C (410°F)* and continue baking until the center is *jiggly*, around 15 to 20 minutes more, until the internal temperature rises to *64-68°C (147-155°F)*.
Step 5
Once baking is complete, let the cake rest at *room temperature* to stabilize.
Step 6
Refrigerate the cake uncovered for at least *8 hours* to properly set the flavors and texture. This is essential for the best taste experience.

Variations
For those with dietary restrictions, it’s super easy to adapt this recipe! Simply replace the cream cheese with a dairy-free cream cheese alternative and substitute the eggs with flax eggs (1 tbsp flaxseed meal + 2.5 tbsp water = 1 egg). Also, using almond or coconut flour in place of all-purpose flour will keep it gluten-free!
Don’t forget to taste as you go! You may find that the sugar level needs adjustment when swapping ingredients, so tweak it to your liking. 🥳 With these simple swaps, you can still enjoy a creamy and delicious cheesecake that everyone can love!
Faq
- What if my cheesecake cracks on top?
Don't worry! Cracks can happen due to temperature changes or overbaking. To prevent this, bake at a steady temperature and avoid opening the oven door too often.
- How can I tell when my cheesecake is done?
The sides should be set but the center should still have a slight jiggle. A kitchen thermometer should read between 64-68°C at the center!
- Can I make this cheesecake ahead of time?
Absolutely! In fact, chilling it for at least 8 hours enhances the flavor. Just keep it covered in the refrigerator until you're ready to serve.
- What are some flavor variations I can try?
You can add lemon zest, cocoa powder, or even a swirl of your favorite fruit preserves to customize the flavor of your cheesecake!
- Why is my cheesecake too dense?
A dense cheesecake can result from overmixing or not incorporating enough air. Be gentle when blending and avoid overbaking.
- Can I freeze leftover cheesecake?
Yes! Slice the cheesecake and wrap each piece tightly in plastic wrap, then place it in an airtight container. It can be frozen for up to 3 months!
