No-base light Cheesecake

No-base light Cheesecake




This is a very nice light version of the normal Cheesecake recipe ,It has no base & lighter in ingredients. I found it a nice Blog, & decided to do it after seeing its amazing texture. I was so fluffy & airy, exactly like eating cotton candy!!
Ingredients:

250 gm Creamcheese
200 gm sourcream or Condensed Milk
1/2 cup Sugar
1/4 cup sifted Starch
2 Tablespoons lemon juice
1 Tablespoon Lemon zest
3 eggs (seperated)

Preparation::

Beat Egg whites with an electrical mixer till firm peaks form.
Mix other ingredients (egg yolks, sugar,Lemon juice & Zest, Starch, Creamcheese & Sourcream). 

Fold the eggwhites into the other mixture till well mixed.

Put in a bttered non-stick Cake pan (or as I used a Loaf Pan)
Enter a preheated oven (180°C) for 1/2 hour, then lower the heat till (160°C) for another 1/2 hour. 
*Don´t over bake, so as not to have any cracks.
*The cheese cake after baking will appear wet & soggy from the middle.*I usually bake Cheesecakes with a pot filled with water inside the oven. (I don't put the Cake pan inside a waterbath)
*Cool your cheese cake 4 hours before serving.

*This is how fluffy & soft it is from inside*
