Japanese cheesecake

Fluffy soufflé cake

Japanese cheesecake is a light, airy style of cheesecake that jiggles when shaken, made by folding whipped egg whites into the batter.

Unlike dense New York–style cheesecake, it has a soufflé-like texture—fluffy and only mildly sweet.

Also called cotton cheesecake or soufflé cheesecake: The Japanese cheesecake was so light it practically melted on my tongue.
