Heavenly Double Fromage
I just love the popular "double fromage" from a certain famous bakery.
I did some research by checking the ingredients from the actual version, noted recipe steps that I saw on TV, and recreated it at home. I have not yet compared this cake with the real one side by side, and the last time I had a real one was long ago, so my apologies if this does not taste like the real deal...
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Choose your favorite recipe to bake a sponge cake (I recommend the recipe by patissier Rumi Kojima). Cool it off completely. If possible, prepare it a day in advance.
* Step 2
Since the batter will be baked in a double boiler, prevent water from spilling into the cake pan by covering the bottom with aluminum foil.
* Step 3
Cut off a 1.2 cm-thick layer of sponge cake and set it on the bottom of the prepared cake pan. The remainder of the cake will be used later. Preheat the oven to 160℃.
* Step 4
To prepare the baked cheesecake, add all of the ingredients for the baked cheesecake into a food processor and process until smooth.
* Step 5
Strain the batter and pour into the cake pan with the cake layer at the bottom. Pour hot water into a baking dish and steam-bake the cake in the oven for 35-40 minutes at 160℃.
* Step 6
Bake until lightly browned. Let it completely cool in the pan.
* Step 7
To prepare the no-bake cheesecake, sprinkle and soak the gelatin powder in 2 tablespoons of water.
* Step 8
Combine all of the ingredients except for the heavy cream for the no-bake cheesecake. I used a food processor, but it's easier to mix it in a bowl!
* Step 9
Beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
* Step 10
Scoop out one ladleful of whipped cream (about 60 g) and set it aside in the refrigerator for the finishing touch!
* Step 11
Microwave the gelatin for a few seconds to make it silky, add it into the no-bake cheesecake batter from Step 8, then strain it through a colander. Use a rubber spatula to strain, since it will not flow through the sieve.
* Step 12
Mix the strained batter and the remaining whipped cream from Step 9.
* Step 13
Pour the batter into the cake pan on top of the baked cheesecake. Smooth the surface and let it set in the freezer until it hardens.
* Step 14
Meanwhile, slice off the browned surface of the sponge cake and blend the white cake in a food processor.
* Step 15
There you have fluffy sponge crumbs. There will be leftover crumbs, which you can use in a different dessert! So, stay tuned...
* Step 16
Once the non-bake cheesecake part sets, remove it from the pan and spread the reserved whipped cream from Step 10 on the top and sides. A thin layer should be enough.
* Step 17
Coat the entire surface of the cake with the sponge cake crumbs. They may come off easily, so gently press them into the cake...
* Step 18
It's done! It should still be frozen at this point, so thaw it before you it. It's hard to sit by and wait.
* Step 19
Freezing the non-baked cheesecake batter makes the cake easier to handle, but if you prefer to eat it right away, set the batter in a refrigerator instead at Step 13. It will still need to set completely.
* Step 20
The pure white and fluffy cake will bring you delight from the first bite. The cake is large, so eat as much as you want!
* Step 21
Use the leftover sponge cake crumbs from this recipe by combining them with heavy cream and chocolate to turn them into another dessert!
