Ingredients

  • 200 to 250 grams Cream cheese
  • 60 grams Sugar
  • 3 large Eggs
  • 100 ml Heavy cream
  • 100 grams Yogurt
  • 2 tbsp Flour
  • 1 tbsp Lemon juice

Method

  • If you are using a mold with a removable bottom, cover the bottom with aluminium foil so that the water in the water bath won't seep in.
  • I baked it like this.
  • Cut out a piece of parchment paper to fit the bottom, Brush the bottom with oil or spray non-stick cooking oil to secure.
  • Separate the eggs into whites and yolks.
  • Sift the flour.
  • Put cream cheese in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap.
  • Microwave to soften so that it's easy to mix.
  • Preheat the oven to 160C.
  • Boil the water.
  • Add half the sugar to the softened cream cheese.
  • Add egg yolks, cream, yogurt and lemon juice and mix some more.
  • Add flour, and pass the mixture through a sieve.
  • Add the remaining sugar to the egg whites in 2 to 3 batches while beating until it becomes a meringue with soft peaks.
  • Add the meringue to the batter from Step 6 in 2 to 3 batches, folding it in.
  • When the batter is mixed, pour it into the mold.
  • Place the mold in a baking pan, and add boiling water to the pan so that it comes halfway up the sides of the cake mold.
  • Bake in a preheated 160C oven for 40 minutes.
  • If it seems like it is going to get burned, cover the top with aluminum foil.
  • The cake is puffy when it comes out of the oven, but will soon deflate.
  • The cheesecake is very soft when it's fresh out of the oven, so leave until it has completely cooled down.
  • Once it cools, it's OK to remove the mold!
  • When the cheesecake has cooled, glaze the top with apricot jam diluted with water or the similar.
  • The cheesecake will look like a store-bought one.
