Prep Time 10 mins
Cook Time 25 mins
Course Dessert
Servings 6 inch pan

Ingredients
  

  • 200 g cream cheese
  • 20 g unsalted butter
  • 50 g milk
  • 40 g egg yolk
  • 40 g all-purpose flour sifted
  • 110 g egg white
  • 55 g sugar

Instructions
 

  • Prepare pan: Line the pan with parchment paper at the bottom and at the sides.
  • Make batter: In the KitchenAid Precise Heat Bowl set below 122ºF, melt cream cheese, milk, and butter together. Mix together on low heat until smooth and without lumps. Let cool.
  • Add egg yolk/s one by one and wait to be completely mixed before adding the flour.
  • Whip egg whites: In a KitchenAid stand mixer fitted with a whisk accessory, pour in sugar with the egg whites. Whisk in medium-high until soft peaks.
  • Combine a third of the meringue into the cream cheese mixture. Fold in until mostly mixed. Add the rest of the meringue into the mixture.
  • Pour mixture into the lined pan. Spread the batter evenly into the pan and smooth out the top using a spatula. Holding the side of the pan, gently lift and drop the pan on the counter about 6 times to remove any big air bubbles.
  • Place the pan into a hot water bath and bake the cake for 1 hour and 10 minutes in 160ºC. Check the cake for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the cake. (It should come out clean.) Bake the cake for an additional 10-15 minutes to brown the top.
  • Turn off the KitchenAid 21L Digital Countertop Oven, open the oven door slightly (about 2-3 inches) and let the Cotton Cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour.
  • Let it cool outside the oven for at least 3 hours before serving.
