What to add to cheesecake dough to make the dessert fluffy

This dessert is extremely tender, fluffy, and airy. It is based on crispy shortbread dough and a delicious sweet filling. And it is made not from cottage cheese, but from sour cream. That's why the texture of the cheesecake is very light and not clogged.

The idea of making a fluffy cheesecake with sour cream filling was published on the Instagram page of Sofia Martyniuk (sofia_martinuk).
