Matcha Cheesecake

Ingredients - Serves 8

• Matcha powder - For dusting
• Whipped cream - For serving
• Heavy cream - 1/2 cup
• Eggs - 3
• Vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon
• Matcha powder - 2 tablespoons
• Granulated sugar - 1/2 cup
• Cream cheese - 16 oz
• Unsalted butter - 1/3 cup, melted
• Graham cracker crumbs - 1 1/2 cups

Let's Get Started

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan to form the crust.
3. In a separate mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, matcha powder, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
4. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the heavy cream.
5. Pour the cheesecake batter over the crust in the springform pan.
6. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are slightly golden.
7. Remove from the oven and let the cheesecake cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to set.
8. Before serving, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and garnish with whipped cream. Dust with matcha powder for an extra touch of flavor.
9. Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy!
