This light mini cheesecake is suitable for all ages. You can serve it with any cream on the side or just have it plain with a glass of milk. Start by boiling water in a pot, then in a mixing bowl, add room temperature cream cheese and 60 ml of room temperature milk.
Place it over the hot water bath. Turn the heat to low and stir to melt the cream cheese. Add room-temperature butter when the cream cheese is melted and reaches 60 degrees Celsius. Continue stirring the butter in until it melts and is incorporated, then remove from the heat.
Add 3 egg yolks one by one and mix well after each addition. Once the egg yolks are incorporated into the cream cheese mixture, add 2ml of lemon juice, salt and honey and mix again until combined.
Sift in cake flour and cornstarch until the flour is well incorporated and smooth with no lumps. Bring the bowl with the egg whites and start beating on high speed until it foams, then add sugar in three additions and beat well after each addition.
Add 2ml of lemon juice and continue beating the meringue until it reaches a soft peak. Scoop the meringue little by little and fold it into the butter until smooth and incorporated. Pour the batter into the mini cake mould. Place the cake moulds in a rectangular baking tray and add hot water to the tray.
Bake in a 175-degree °C preheated oven for 7 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 115 °C and bake for an additional 50 minutes.
Once baked, transfer the cakes to a cooling rack to cool down, then remove them from the moulds and serve the cheesecake right away or store it in the refrigerator.
