The Ultimate Matcha Cheesecake Recipe: A Delightful Fusion of Flavors

If you're a fan of matcha tea and love indulging in decadent desserts, then you're in for a real treat! Today, I'm excited to share with you the ultimate matcha cheesecake recipe that will have your taste buds dancing with joy.

At T% Matcha, we're passionate about sourcing the finest quality matcha from Japan and sharing its rich, earthy flavors with the world. And what better way to showcase this incredible ingredient than in a creamy, luscious cheesecake?

Ingredients for the Perfect Matcha Cheesecake

To create this masterpiece, you'll need the following ingredients:

• 500g cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 1/4 cup high-quality matcha powder (we recommend our Ceremonial Grade Matcha for the best results)
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparing the Matcha Cheesecake

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the sugar and cornstarch, mixing until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until light and fluffy. Slowly incorporate the egg mixture into the cream cheese mixture, blending until everything is well incorporated.
4. Gently fold in the heavy cream and vanilla extract, followed by the matcha powder. Be sure to mix the matcha in thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of color and flavor.
5. Pour the batter into a 9-inch springform pan that has been lightly greased and lined with parchment paper.
6. Bake the cheesecake for 55-65 minutes, or until the center is almost set. The edges should be slightly puffed and the center should still have a slight jiggle.
7. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for an additional 1 hour. This gradual cooling process will help prevent cracking.
8. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Serving and Enjoying the Matcha Cheesecake

Once the cheesecake has chilled, release it from the springform pan and transfer it to a serving plate. Top it with a dusting of additional matcha powder or a drizzle of white chocolate for an extra touch of elegance.

Slice and serve this decadent matcha cheesecake to your family and friends, and watch as they savor every bite. The combination of the creamy, tangy cream cheese and the earthy, slightly sweet matcha is simply divine.

Whether you're hosting a special event or just treating yourself to a indulgent dessert, this matcha cheesecake is sure to impress. Enjoy!
