French Soufflé vs. Japanese Soufflé: What’s the Difference?
At Good Husband Patisserie, we’ve perfected the art of creating moist, soft, and fluffy desserts, and our Japanese soufflé cheesecake is no exception.
Let’s explore the difference between a French soufflé and our Japanese soufflé cheesecake.

What Is a Soufflé?
The word soufflé comes from French and means “to puff up,” which perfectly describes this delicate, airy dessert. Made by carefully folding beaten egg whites into a rich batter, soufflé achieves its signature rise and fluffy texture when baked.
While the traditional French soufflé is a warm, custardy dessert, Japan has developed its own version: Japanese soufflé cheesecake, which is lighter, jiggly, and incredibly soft. But how do these two compare? Let’s find out!

Key Differences Between French Soufflé and Japanese Soufflé Cheesecake
French Soufflé is light, airy, and slightly creamy inside with a crisp, golden-brown top, baked in a ramekin to rise dramatically. It’s best served immediately while hot and features flavors like chocolate, vanilla, cheese, or citrus.
Japanese Soufflé Cheesecake is soft, jiggly, and airy, with a melt-in-your-mouth texture. It’s baked in a round mold using a steam bath, making it more stable, and served at room temperature or chilled. Typically cheese-based, it comes in variations like matcha, strawberry, or chocolate.

It all depends on your preference! If you enjoy a warm, custard-like interior with a delicate crisp on top, French soufflé is the way to go. However, if you prefer a light, fluffy, and slightly tangy cheesecake that melts in your mouth, you’ll love Japanese soufflé cheesecake.
Both are delightful in their own way, but if you’re looking for the softest, fluffiest cheesecake experience, the Japanese version is a must-try!
At Good Husband Patisserie, our Japanese soufflé cheesecake is a must-try. Unlike the common dry cheesecakes you find in the market, ours is moist, soft, and packed with a citrus fragrance thanks to fresh lemon zest and juice. Topped with chantilly cream, fresh strawberries, and a generous coating of cookie crumbs, it’s the perfect balance of creamy and tangy, making it a truly indulgent dessert experience.
