Durian Cheesecake


Ingredient (A)
300g Durian Flesh (Mao Shan Wang is very good)
250g Cream Cheese (Philadelphia)
6 egg yolks
70g caster sugar
60g butter ~ melted
100ml fresh milk
70g cake flour
20g corn flour
1/4 tsp salt

Ingredient (B)
7 egg white
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
70g caster sugar

Method
  1. Preheat over to 200 deg C (Top & bottom heat ~ No fan).  Spray 8"x3" round cake pan with non-stick spray.  Line with baking paper.
  2. Whisk cream cheese till smooth over a warm water bath.  Add yolk & whisk one at a time.  Then add sugar & melted butter into the batter.
  3. Blend durian flesh with milk, sieve & add to batter.  Remove from water bath, sieve in flour, add salt & fold into mixture.
  4. In another bowl, whisk egg white at low speed till foamy.  Add cream of tartar & beat at high speed till bubbles become very small but still visible.  Gradually add sugar & beat till just before soft peaks.
  5. Fold egg whites into 1/3 at a time.  Pour into cake pan & tap the pan on the counter to release air bubbles.
  6. Place warm water (40-50 C) & bake on the bottom-most rack in a preheated 200 deg C oven for 18 mins.  Lower to 160 deg C for 20 mins.  Then 140 deg C for 10 mins & turn off the oven & leave the cake in the closed oven for 10 mins.  Open the door slightly at the end of the baking for 10 mins for the cake to cool.
  7. De-pan the cake carefully using a sheet of baking paper to prevent the top from sticking.
