Tips for Making Perfect Tempura Cheesecake
Allow the cheesecake to cool before dipping it in the fresh-cut and tempura batter. Cheesecake may melt in hot oil.
Check the temperature of the oil (375°F) with a thermometer before frying the cheesecake slices. If the oil is too hot, the cheesecake cooks too quickly. And too cold oil makes the tempura batter oily.
Do not fry the cheesecake pieces together in a fryer or saucepan. Fry them in small batches for consistent cooking and to avoid sticking.
Tempura cheesecake tastes best when served hot. Fry the pieces before serving.
