This Fluffy Japanese-Style Cheesecake is a dreamy dessert that combines the richness of cheesecake with the airy texture of a sponge cake. It’s delicately sweet, melt-in-your-mouth soft, and finished with a dusting of powdered sugar. The secret? Whipping egg whites into a glossy meringue and gently folding them into the cream cheese mixture, creating a souffle-like rise and cloud-like texture.
