want to learn this 3 ingredient japanese sponge cheesecake? you are in the right page. this sponge cheesecake is super soft and taste like cotton candy but of course, it's a cheesecake! i know when my food is over the top delicious is when my husband would tell me it's delicious, not once, not twice, but 3 times! yup! i have the best critic! also, i replaced the white chocolate with candy melts, the result is the same. but, i highly recommend using white chocolates. i did this because i can't go out due to this virus that's going around. and with that, i hope everyone is staying safe!

so let's get into it. :)

ingredients:

• 3 eggs
• 1 block cheesecake
• 120 grams white chocolate (in my case i used candy melts)

directions:

1. separate the egg whites and egg yolks. cover the egg whites with plastic wrap and let it sit in the fridge until it's ready to use (it's easy to make a meringue when the egg whites are cold)
2. break the white chocolates into pieces and melt in the microwave, 30 seconds in between. once the white chocolates are fully melted, add the cream cheese and combine well. set aside
3. in a large bowl, whip the egg whites using an electric mixer until the egg whites gets thick enough
4. add the egg yolk into a cream cheese batter. mix well
5. add half of the meringue into the cream cheese batter and combine well, then add the rest of the meringue and mix well
6. rub some butter or oil on parchment paper and line the round cake pan with a parchment paper
7. pour the batter into the pan
8. place the cake pan into a baking sheet, and add water
9. bake n 340F for 15 minutes
10. after 15 minutes, lower the temperature to 320F and bake again for another 15 minutes
11. after 15 minutes turn the oven off and then let the cake sit in the oven for another 15 minutes
12. after 15 minutes, remove the cake from the oven and let the cake cool completely before slicing
13. then serve!

i hope you enjoy this recipe! please share! :)

super soft and fluffy!!

hi riders,

in today's episode, i will be showing you on how to make these super soft, fluffy and delicious japanese milk bread. this recipe is definitely not new to anyone, you can find this recipe everywhere in the internet. i made it the other day and my friends totally loved it. so i thought, why not share it with all my riders out there?! so let's go ahead and check all the ingredients! :)

list of ingredients:

• 3 cups all purpose flour
• 3 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 2 1/2 teaspoon instant dry yeast (1 packet)
• 1 cup warm milk
• 4 tablespoon (1/4 stick butter)
• 2/3 teaspoon salt

directions: (you can also watch the video for instructions - youtube video will be up soon)

1. combine milk and instant dry yeast and set aside.
2. mix the flour, sugar and the milk mixture until it forms like a dough.
3. then, add the salt and keep kneading. you can use stand mixer if you need to, but i am just using my hand to create the dough.
4. once it's all mixed, stretch the dough out and add the butter in the center of the dough. you want to make sure the butter is soft. this could get messy but it's okay, just keep kneading until the dough becomes soft and stretchy, the dough should not stick into your hand, if this happens add a little more flour.
5. put the dough into a bowl and let it rise for an hour or so or until it doubled in size. (tip: grease the bowl so that the dough wont stick)
6. once the dough is ready, cut into small sizes, i was able to make 12 pieces.
7. roll the dough into a ball.
8. then let it rise again for another 30 mins
9. pre-heat the oven to 350F
10. bake for 18 to 20 minutes.
11. and it DONE!

let me know if you will give this a try! :)
