Japanese cheesecake, also known as cotton cheesecake, is a light and fluffy dessert. It is made with cream cheese, eggs, sugar, and a small amount of flour. The batter is whipped to incorporate air, resulting in a delicate and airy texture. Japanese cheesecake is typically baked in a water bath to ensure even cooking and prevent cracking. It has a subtle sweetness and a melt-in-your-mouth consistency.
