A delightful dessert combining the creamy texture of cheesecake with the earthy notes of matcha green tea.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp matcha powder
  • 1 cup sour cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until combined. Press this mixture into the bottom of a springform pan to create the crust.
  3. In another bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and matcha powder until blended.
  5. Fold in the sour cream and mix until the batter is smooth.
  6. Pour the cheesecake batter over the crust in the springform pan.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until set and slightly jiggly in the center.
  8. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside for an hour before removing it.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.

Notes

Best served chilled. Consider topping with fresh berries, whipped cream, or a dusting of matcha powder.
