Japanese cheesecake, also called "soufflé cheesecake," originated in Japan in the 1980s and blends the lightness of a soufflé with the richness of a cream cheese cake. It’s prized for its fluffy texture and subtle sweetness, often served in cafés and as a celebratory dessert.

In Osaka, the cheesecake is often baked at a lower temperature for a more custard‑like interior, while in Tokyo many bakers add a touch of lemon juice for brightness. Some regions incorporate matcha powder for a green‑tea flavor twist.

It is typically served chilled, sliced into neat squares, and sometimes dusted with powdered sugar or paired with fresh berries. It is also enjoyed with a cup of green tea to balance its richness.

Japanese cheesecake is popular at birthday parties, tea gatherings, and seasonal festivals, especially during spring when lighter desserts are favored. It’s also a common offering in bento boxes for special occasions.

Pair it with a cup of matcha latte, a small serving of mochi ice cream, or a light fruit salad featuring yuzu‑flavored fruit to complement the cheesecake’s subtle sweetness.

The TikTok version skips baking entirely, using a ready‑made no‑bake cheesecake as a base and adding crunchy Biscoff cookie crumbs, sweet cherry filling, and melted peanut butter for a quick, indulgent snack that still captures the fluffy feel of the original cake.

Avoid over‑melting the peanut butter, which can become grainy, and be sure to press the Biscoff crumbs firmly so they stick. Also, don’t use overly watery cherry filling, or the top will become soggy.

The creator couldn’t find the Biscoff spread, so regular smooth peanut butter was used as a readily available substitute. Peanut butter provides a similar creamy texture and nutty flavor, though it lacks the caramel‑spice notes of Biscoff.

Yes, you can assemble up to the cherry topping and keep it covered in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Add the melted peanut butter drizzle just before serving to keep the texture crisp.
