Japanese Green Tea Cotton Cheesecake

Another cheesecake temptation with some amendments to suit my family.   Ot you may prefer my earlier posting on the Baked Cotton Cheesecake, another favorite cake too.

Texture of the cake is light and  soft like cotton with poppy seeds to give that extra chewy treat.
