Baked Cheddar Cheese Chocolate Cheesecake

Baked another cheddar cheese cheesecake again but this time with chocolate flavour.  The cake didn't shrink much.
Ingredients
[use 7" loose bottom round cake tin]
50 gm cake flour - sifted
3 egg yolks
50 gm butter
3 slices of cheddar cheese [about 30 gm]
50 ml milk 
50 gm cooking chocolate - melted

  1. Using double boil method, dissolve cheddar cheese with butter, then add in melted chocolate and milk.  Mix well and set aside to cool.
  2. Sieve flour into a mixing bowl, add in egg yolks and cooled melted cheese and butter mixture.
  3. Whisk on medium high speed until creamy and ingredients are well combined.  Set aside while you prepare the egg white and preheat oven at 150 degrees C.
3 egg whites
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
50 gm sugar
  1. In another clean bowl, whisk egg whites until frothy, add in cream of tartar.  Continue beating and gradually add in sugar in 3 batches.
  2. Whisk on medium high speed until soft to stiff peaks formed.
  3. Pour half [1/2] meringue into egg yolk mixture.  Mix well to incorporate ingredients.
  4. Then pour into balance meringue.  Mix well.
  5. Pour batter into a lined loose bottom 7" round cake tin. Smooth the surface with a use of spatula.
  6. Steam baked [use 1 1/2 cups water] in baking tray.
  7. Baked in preheated oven at 150 degrees for 70 minutes.  Remove from pan immediately to cool on rack [cake base is firm and dry].   This time I left the baked cake in the oven to cool for 1 hour before removing and standing cake on a pedestal to cool further.  Chill cake for several hours before slicing.

  1. Hi Phong Hong, notice the cake was quite tall and didn't shrink much. Give it a try. Increase the cooking chocolate, the cake tasted even much better.

  3. Hi Anonymous, yes it's cheddar cheese slices. Different brands have different packaging. Some comes with 10-12 slices in 200 gm or 250 gm packet. You need to weigh them and use about 30 gm, that would be enough.

  5. Hi Aini, yes you can substitute some flour with cocoa powder for more intense cocoa flavour but too intense it may affect the cheesy taste and aroma.
