Japanese cheesecake, also known as cotton cheesecake, is a light and fluffy dessert that originated in Japan. It is made with cream cheese, eggs, sugar, and a small amount of flour. The cheesecake is baked in a water bath, which helps to create its airy texture. Japanese cheesecake has a delicate and melt-in-your-mouth consistency, with a subtle sweetness. It is often served dusted with powdered sugar or with a dollop of whipped cream.
