Crème Brûlée and Matcha Double Fromage Cheesecake by Kat Lieu
Hi friends! Have you heard of a Double Fromage (cheese) cheesecake, made famous by the Japanese bakery LeTAO? A typical double fromage cake has three layers: a layer of sponge cake on the bottom, with a layer of baked cheesecake in the middle, and a layer of mousse-like unbaked cheesecake on top. The cake is then completely coated with cream and covered with a crumb coating made from crumbled-up sponge cake.
My Crème Brûlée and Matcha Double Fromage Cheesecake has two additional layers, a layer of burnt sugar and a layer of matcha gelee separating the two cheesecakes. The crisp from the burnt sugar is quite welcomed since most of the cake is soft and melty. I’m not complaining though. With each bite, you’ll have a little of everything heavenly: creamy mousse-like unbaked cheesecake, satisfying baked cheesecake, a soft springy spongecake, and a sweet gelee.
This recipe is inspired by LeTAO. Happy baking, friends!
XOXOXO,
Kat
