Ingredients

Decadent Matcha Cheesecake Ingredients

For the crust:

  • 200 g digestive biscuits or graham crackers, crushed
  • 100 g unsalted butter, melted

For the cheesecake filling:

  • 400 g cream cheese, softened
  • 150 g sugar
  • 200 ml heavy cream
  • 2 tsp Shizuoka Premium Matcha
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs

Optional topping:

  • Extra matcha powder for dusting
  • Whipped cream or white chocolate shavings

Instructions

1. Prepare the crust

  1. Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F).
  2. Mix the crushed biscuits with melted butter until evenly combined.
  3. Press the mixture firmly into the base of a springform pan (20–23 cm) to form an even layer.
  4. Chill in the fridge for 10–15 minutes while preparing the filling.

2. Make the cheesecake filling

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add heavy cream and vanilla extract, mixing well.
  3. Sift the matcha powder to avoid clumps and fold it into the mixture until fully combined.
  4. Add eggs one by one, gently folding until the mixture is smooth.

3. Bake the cheesecake

  1. Pour the filling over the chilled crust.
  2. Bake for 40–50 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center slightly jiggles when shaken.
  3. Turn off the oven, slightly open the door, and let the cheesecake cool inside for 15 minutes to prevent cracking.

4. Chill and serve

  1. Let the cheesecake cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight for best results).
  2. Dust with extra matcha powder or top with whipped cream before serving.

Tips for the Perfect Matcha Cheesecake

  • Use high-quality matcha: For the best flavor and vibrant color, always use premium matcha like Shizuoka Premium Matcha.
  • Prevent cracks: Baking in a water bath or leaving the oven door slightly ajar after baking helps prevent cracks.
  • Sweetness balance: Adjust sugar depending on your matcha’s bitterness; high-quality matcha can be slightly bitter, so 150 g sugar is a good balance.
  • Serving ideas: Pair with fresh berries, a drizzle of white chocolate, or a dollop of whipped cream.
  • Storage: Keep refrigerated for up to 4 days. For longer storage, cheesecake slices can be frozen and thawed before serving.
