So many times Trader Joe’s has done us dirty on the Japanese food front (the karaage<\/a> is the most offensive of the bunch). But the Japanese Souffl\u00e9 Cheesecake that rolled out this week is pretty solid for frozen. And at $3.29 for a package of 2? It’s a no-brainer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The package calls for thawing them in the fridge for 3 hours. I ended up letting them go overnight, so that might have contributed to how wrinkly the tops look. But cover it up with a strawberry garnish and no one will notice! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What makes Japanese souffl\u00e9 cheesecake so good is its airy\/fluffy souffl\u00e9-like texture and subtle sweetness (compared to traditional cheesecake). In a way, it’s like the perfect cross of angel food cake and cheesecake. It’s not as rich or dense as a standard cheesecake and honestly, that’s what I like about it. Is Trader Joe’s souffl\u00e9 cheesecake as good as you might get at an Asian bakery like 85\u00b0C? Well, the last time I had it, it was from Keki Modern Cakes and that’s really not a fair comparison. I’ll say prolly not versus 85\u00b0C, too. But it’s also $3.29 for two! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Would I buy Trader Joe’s Japanese Souffl\u00e9 Cheesecakes again? Heck yeah. I’d consider them for Mother’s Day, too, if you’re looking for a dessert option on the cheap. Grab a basket of strawberries and you’re set. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
