Ingredients
- Cream Cheese 150 g
- Mascarpone 100 g
- Whipping Cream 100 g
- Sour Cream 150 g
- Greek Yogurt 50 g
- Granulated Sugar 100 g
- White Chocolate 50 g
- Lemon Juice 10 g
- Egg 2 pc
- Earl Grey Tea 10 g
- Corn Starch 20 g
In a pot, add all Earl Grey tea and whipping cream, heating over medium until bubbles form along the edges. Remove from heat, add white chocolate, and let cool.
Preheat the oven to 210°C (420°F). Line a 6-inch cake pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
Soften the cream cheese and add granulated sugar, mixing and pressing with a spatula until smooth and lump-free.
Mix the white chocolate into the cooled cream mixture until fully combined. Ensure it’s under 40°C before adding to the cream cheese mixture, then fold together until smooth.
In another bowl, whisk together sour cream and Greek yogurt.
Beat eggs lightly and add to the yogurt mixture in three parts, mixing well after each addition.
Add mascarpone, lemon juice, and corn starch one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
Add the Earl Grey cream cheese mixture, stirring until smooth. Strain the batter to ensure a silky texture.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Place the cake pan in a larger, deep baking dish and fill with 70°C water to halfway up the cake pan. Bake for 20 minutes, then lower the temperature to 150°C (300°F) and bake for another 20 minutes.
After baking, let the cheesecake cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Discussion
Bring all ingredients to room temperature to prevent lumps and ensure even mixing.
When adding the Earl Grey cream mixture, keep it cool to avoid melting the cream cheese and causing separation.
Use warm water in the water bath to avoid undercooking the center while the edges dry out.
Mix gently with a spatula or whisk. If using an electric mixer, keep it on low speed to avoid over-aerating, which can cause cracking during baking.
Adjust baking time based on your pan and oven. If unsure, bake slightly longer; it will result in a denser texture after chilling, but the flavor will remain delicious.
