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
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press this mixture into the bottom of a springform pan to form the crust.
- In another bowl, beat together the cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then add the vanilla extract and matcha powder and blend until completely combined.
- Gently fold in the sour cream until smooth.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the crust in the springform pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
- Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside for an hour.
- Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
Notes
For the best results, use high-quality matcha powder. Allow cream cheese to soften at room temperature before mixing to avoid lumps.
