Ingredients

• 2 cups cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Chipcooks matcha powder
• ½ cup sour cream

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust: Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a greased 9×9 inch baking pan to form an even layer.
2. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract, matcha powder, sour cream, and a pinch of salt until fully incorporated.
3. Bake: Pour the cheesecake filling over the crust in the baking pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center has a slight jiggle.
4. Cool and Chill: Remove from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until fully chilled.
5. Serve: Cut into bars and serve chilled. Enjoy these creamy matcha cheesecake bars as a delightful dessert or snack.
