Special for the sweet tooth; Japanese Cheesecake.

Cheesecake is, by far, one of my favorite desserts; it is simple to make, super versatile and is extremely hard to fuck up. While I was living in Taiwan, I got introduced to Japanese Cheesecake (yeah, in Taiwan, not Japan), an odd and amazing cousin of the cheesecake we all know and love. It is a fluffy, light and wobbly goodness with a very subtle flavor, perfect to finish any meal.  It basically is the lovechild of cheesecake and soufflé.

Lately I've been seeing it popping up a lot in western style bakeries and in more and more of your Facebook feeds, so I thought, fuck it, let's get a recipe out there that is easy and delicious. So, get off your couch and gather ingredients, because when you are done with this you will be impressing even the most picky of your friends, the secret behind this is, that it looks so fancy and hard to make but in reality it is simple as fuck. So, here is the Japexican way of making Japanese cheesecake!

Khalua is optional but highly recommended. 

Look at that fluff!

Special for the Sweet Tooth. Oreo Cheesecake

It is no secret that I am not an avid baker, there is something very structured and strict about baking that I really don't enjoy, well, at least that is true for proper baking. Adding the fact that I rarely crave sweets we get to the fact that Minoru Baking is something that happens once in a blue moon. However, when it happens, I try to go to the simple things and the things that don't require the strictness and rigidity that baking usually does.

A few weeks ago, one of my friends turned 27, he enjoys sweets as crazy and I would say any kind of desert is his kind of dish,  so to celebrate him I decided to make my Oreo® Cheesecake. We actually ended up eating the cake without him, but that is another story.

So, if you have never baked, and you would like to try something simple as fuck that would wow all the people around you, this is for you. Enjoy, thank me later.

Look at that ridiculously good looking slice!
