Jiggly Fluffy Japanese Cotton Cheesecake

1. Prepare a 6x3 inch cake pan by lining the bottom and sides with parchment paper. Preheat the oven at 250F.
2. Separate the egg yolks from the egg whites.
3. In a bowl, add in cream cheese, milk and butter. Then, place the bowl over a double boiler and heat the mixture until it has a creamy consistency.
4. Remove from heat and whisk the egg yolks into the mixture until well combined.
5. Sift the cake flour and add it to the yolk mixture. Stir until well combined.
6. In a stand mixer with a whisk attachment, whisk egg whites and lemon juice.
7. When egg whites start to form bubbles, slowly add sugar in. Whisk until medium peak.
8. Mix in 1/3 of the whisked egg whites into the yolk mixture until well combined.
9. Fold in the remaining 2/3 egg whites into the mixture in 2 turns until well incorporated.
10. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, and place the filled-pan into a bigger pan.
11. Fill the bigger pan with boiling water until it’s about 1/3 height of the inner pan.
12. Bake for about 60 mins. Then, turn the oven to broiler mode for 2 mins to brown the top. Keep an eye on it as the browning happens very quickly.
13. Remove from oven and let it cool for about 5-10 mins. Once it’s warm to touch, remove the cake from the pan and place it on a plate.
14. Chill the cake for 2 hours and time to enjoy!
