How To Make matcha cheesecake

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 350ºF. In a bowl of a stand mixer, combine cream cheese and milk. Using a paddle attachment, process mixture on speed 3 until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add sugar and process until creamy. Add eggs and continue mixing until well incorporated.

    In a small bowl, combine warm heavy cream and matcha powder; stir until there are no lumps in it. Add tea mixture to cream cheese mixture along with vanilla; process until well blended. Pour mixture into the prepared pie crust and transfer to the preheated oven; bake for 30-35 minutes or until the center is almost set (jiggles a little when gently shake). Turn the temperature off and leave the cake in with the door close for 2 hours. With the door ajar, leave it for another hour.

    Remove from the oven and slice a knife around the pan to release and prevent from cracking; cool completely. Cover with plastic and transfer to the refrigerator for 12 to 24 hours before slicing.
