Matcha Cheesecake anyone?
This homemade green tea cheesecake is super easy and simple. In fact the hardest part is waiting for it to set in the fridge. So if you need a last-minute dessert recipe for a party, this is the perfect choice. Everyone will love its soft and silky texture complementing with the earthy and bittersweet flavor of matcha powder.
The crust of the cake is made from fine bits of chocolate biscuits mixed with butter creating a crumbly yet moist base that goes well with the satiny and silken cheesecake on top.
If you want to create swirl pattern for the top, save about ⅓ of the cream cheese-potato starch mixture before adding the matcha. After pouring the matcha cheesecake mix, dollop the saved mixture on top and use a skewer to swirl.
If you prefer a uniform and beautiful green cheesecake, just mix matcha to the whole cream cheese mixture like in the recipe.
