Crème Brûlée and Matcha Double Fromage Cheesecake by Kat Lieu
This multi-layered, multi-textured melty showstopper is inspired by LeTAO’s famous double fromage cheesecake. A matcha gelee separates two cheesecake layers, one baked, the other unbaked and mousse/custard-like. A springy and soft matcha sponge cake forms the foundation, and a part of this cake is used for the mossy matcha crumb coating. Add a layer of sugar to the top and burn it for a crème brûlée effect. You’ll definitely need a few hours to complete this cake, including cooling and refrigeration time, so plan ahead. This heavenly and creamy pièce de résistance will be worth it.

Fresh Corn and Latik Mochi Cake, super easy recipe by Kat Lieu
Not only is mochi incredibly popular right now, but this stunning cake requires less than 15 minutes of prep, and is just one of the many fantastic baked treats and more (homemade boba!) you’ll find in Kat Lieu’s new cookbook, Modern Asian Baking at Home: Essential Sweet and Savory Recipes for Milk Bread, Mooncakes, Mochi, and More. Mochi cakes and butter mochi are so hot right now and everybody’s writing about or featuring them. What makes my recipe stand out from the others is I make it with condensed milk and mix the entire batter in a blender. For those of you who don’t have a blender, you can whip up the batter in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or hand-whisk everything together. What I also love about my recipe is the addition of miso for a subtle pop of umami and the beautiful sprinkling of latik, made from fried coconut milk curd. This recipe is relatively foolproof and super customizable. I recommend having some patience and eating the cake a day after baking; that’s when the chewy QQ texture really settles in and anyone who loves toothsome textures will adore this cake. It’ll be a stunner at any party, and yes, you can thank me. xoxoxo, Kat
Matcha Japanese Cheesecake Recipe by Kat Lieu
The Japanese cheesecake took me three years to perfect, so don’t feel too discouraged if your Japanese cheesecake is not perfect the first time. When a nearly perfect Japanese Cheesecake comes out of the oven, it’s an ethereal experience. You’ll want to bake this airy, melt-in-your-mouth showstopper repeatedly. I made a matcha version of my Japanese cheesecake and it’s floral and leafy with a hint of umami. Add a bit of yuzu or lemon juice, and it’ll be the most refreshing and addictive Japanese cheesecake you’ll ever make.
Note: Once refrigerated and “aged”, the cake will transform into a denser yet still light cheesecake.
