Ingredients
Scale
Cheesecake Base
- 16 oz (450 g) cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons matcha powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) to prepare for baking the cheesecake.
- Prepare batter: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add sugar and continue beating until well combined. Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Sift in the matcha powder and gently fold it into the batter until evenly distributed.
- Pour and bake: Pour the cheesecake batter into a greased 8-inch springform pan or a similarly sized baking dish. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the center is almost set but still slightly jiggly.
- Cool and chill: Remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature. After cooling, cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to let it fully set and develop flavors.
Notes
- For a smoother texture, ensure cream cheese is fully softened before mixing.
- Sift the matcha powder to avoid lumps in the batter.
- To prevent cracking, avoid overbaking and allow the cheesecake to cool gradually.
- Serve chilled for the best flavor and consistency.
