Delicious Matcha Cheesecake Recipe

This matcha cheesecake features a buttery graham cracker crust filled with a smooth and creamy matcha-infused filling. The recipe takes about 1 hour to prepare and chill, serving 8 people.

Ingredients

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
2 cups cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon matcha powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup sour cream
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
Pinch of salt

Instructions

Prepare the Crust: Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.
Make the Filling: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the matcha powder, vanilla extract, sour cream, flour, and salt until fully combined.
Bake: Pour the filling over the crust in the springform pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar for about 1 hour.
Chill: Remove the cheesecake from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set completely.
Serve: Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Slice and serve chilled, garnished with whipped cream or fresh berries if desired.
