About Japanese cheecake

Japanese cheesecake, also known as "soufflé cheesecake," originates from Japan and is a lighter, fluffier version of traditional cheesecake. Made with cream cheese, eggs, sugar, milk, and a small amount of flour or cornstarch, it achieves its signature airy texture through a whipped egg white meringue folded into the batter. Unlike denser Western cheesecakes, Japanese cheesecake is lower in fat and sugar, making it a more delicate dessert option. While it contains protein from eggs and calcium from cream cheese, its refined sugar and flour content mean it should still be enjoyed in moderation. This treat is typically baked and served plain or lightly dusted with powdered sugar, emphasizing its simple yet elegant flavor. Its melt-in-your-mouth texture and balanced sweetness make it a favorite in Japanese cuisine and a lower-calorie alternative for cheesecake lovers seeking a lighter dessert.
