Marbled Soufflé Cheesecake

-Marbled Souffle Cheesecake-

Someone asked me is this a Japanese Cotton Cheesecake (JCC)?
No, it is not. This is much fragile than a JCC. It is exactly like a soufflé dessert that served in ramkins and the texture is moist and light that melt in the mouth in no time. It was deconstructed and baked into cake form so that it can be served cold and in portions but still remaining the soufflé texture. Of course it can be served hot just like a normal soufflé but I personally like it cold and imagine you won't be able to finish such a big soufflé. Don't worry about the shrinkage as it is just like a normal soufflé will shrink upon cool down. Anyway, it's still a superb cake from texture to flavour especially the marble mocha absolutely a bonus.
As it is a fragile dessert, a thin slice of sponge cake was placed at the bottom to hold the batter nicely. Beside, some melted dark chocolate was brushed on the sponge cake as well that helps the soufflé stick with the sponge also to enhamce the flavour.
