Anyone ever made a Japanese jiggly cheesecake? Did it work?

[sadpapercourtesan]

I really want to have a go at making one of these, as they look gorgeous, but I have form for whipped egg recipes not working for me (cake recipes with whipped fluffy eggs never seem to rise well in my oven)

Is it difficult? The recipe I found uses 13 eggs, so it's a big commitment

I want to make this too. The flour bit confused me. Which kind of flour should I use?

My recipe says half flour and half cornstarch? Not much of either for the huge amount of egg! I think it's supposed to turn out like a big souffle (I've never made one of those either)

Isn’t it more like a jiggly cheesecake? I remember the one on Bake Off a few years ago and have always wanted to try it.

That's a lot of egg, how big is the baking tin?

That recipe is for an 8.5 inch round tin, it rises quite high though I think!

Post a photo when it's done, please?

I don't know, 13 egg whites give a lot of volume for a small tin. So, good luck, take one for team!

I will report back...don't hold your breath though, it'll probably come out like a lumpy pancake

@ChardonnaysPetDragon voila! Not sure it's meant to have the big cracks in the top, but it rose and it definitely jiggles! Can't wait to taste it (the mix was heavenly)

That looks amazing. Like the ultimate fluffy pancake. Hope it's delicious.

Wow! That looks ace!

I looked into it but reviews said it often tastes eggy

I looked into it but reviews said it often tastes eggy

It does have a LOT of eggs in it! The mixture tasted a lot like a really rich custard (I had a sneaky fingerful)

Yes it’s the egginess that has put me off making these before! I like eggs but I don’t want to eat a cake with a distinctly ‘eggy’ flavour
Op it looks absolutely magnificent, what a rise! Well done, will be interesting to hear the what it tastes like.

This looks amazing, I'm interested to hear how it tastes. We're not brave eaters here.

I've never even tried to make a regular cheesecake yet, though it's on my list of things to achieve this year

Wow! Looks good - well done!

Oh wow!

That looks spectacular! Well done them eggs!

I always wanted to try one so when I saw that Yo! Sushi had them, I got one and was majorly disappointed. It just tasted like sour cream.
Hopefully a homemade one tastes amazing. 🤞

I would like to make this but haven't found a recipe that I can scale down. I like eggs so the egginess wouldn't put me off.
