Description
Indulge in a creamy and delightful no bake matcha cheesecake that is easy to make and perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons matcha green tea powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Fresh berries and mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to set.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing until well incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
- Sift the matcha powder into the cream cheese mixture, add vanilla extract and salt, and fold until the matcha is evenly distributed and the mixture is smooth.
- Pour the matcha cheesecake filling over the chilled crust, spreading it evenly. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set, preferably overnight.
- Once set, carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Garnish with fresh berries and mint leaves if desired. Slice and serve chilled.
Notes
- For a chocolate twist, add ¼ cup of cocoa powder to the cream cheese mixture for a matcha-chocolate cheesecake.
- Substitute the graham cracker crust with an almond flour crust for a gluten-free option.
