Light and Fluffy Japanese Cheesecake

Light and Fluffy Japanese Cheesecake

Description:
Also called “Japanese Cotton Cheesecake” or “Soufflé Cheesecake,” this dessert is a cross between classic cheesecake and chiffon cake. It’s creamy yet airy, with a subtle sweetness and a melt-in-the-mouth texture that feels like eating a cheesecake cloud.
