There’re mainly two categories of cheesecakes in Taiwan.

  • Cheesecake – Typical one in the States. It is rich, and has a dense, smooth and creamy consistency. It usually comes with crust in bottom layer (Mario’s only love), and the cheese content is up to more than 60% of cheesecakes.
  • Light Cheesecake – More popular in Asian countries. It tastes lighter and is also light and spongy in texture. The cheese content here is around 20% to 40% of cheesecakes.

And, no doubt, I love light cheesecakes more! The light texture makes me less guilty for every slice 🙂

Before, I usually made my Asian-style cheesecake by cream cheese. It goes pretty well, but it’s inconvenient for me, since I don’t use cream cheese for other desserts, meals, etc. So, it’s hard for me to make a light cheesecake whenever I want, until I tried the cheese slices! And, it worked perfectly! This is definitely a great news for me, cause there’s always cheese slices inside my refrigerator! So, from now on, I could make an Asian-Style Cheesecake whenever I want. Hooray, how wonderful it is~!!!

Here’s the recipe!

Note:

1. The whole process shouldn’t take too long. Try to keep cheese batter warm while mixed. Or you’ll find cheese precipitated on the bottom.
