Have you ever tried crustless cheesecake? I recently visited a French restaurant and ordered cheesecake for dessert, and it was absolutely amazing! It was quite different from any cheesecake I’ve had before—very light, fluffy, and less tangy than the usual version. There was no bottom crust; it resembled a custard baked (or steamed?) in a springform pan. Does anyone know what this style might be called or where I can find a recipe for it?

It sounds like you had a delicious version of cheesecake often referred to as “Japanese cotton cheesecake” or “Japanese souffle cheesecake.” This style is known for being light and fluffy, with a texture that’s more akin to a soufflé than the dense, creamy cheesecake most people are familiar with. It typically doesn’t have a crust and is made with ingredients like cream cheese, eggs, and sugar, sometimes with a light dusting of powdered sugar on top.
You can find plenty of recipes online by searching for “Japanese cheesecake” or “soufflé cheesecake.” There are also many videos that demonstrate the steaming method, which helps achieve that airy texture. Enjoy trying to recreate it at home!
