Easy Baked Matcha Cheesecake

Matcha Cheesecake

This Matcha Cheesecake has deep brown burnt speckles that is rich, creamy and will add a taste of Japanese to any dining course. My Japanese-style baked matcha cheesecake makes an easy family dessert with just a few steps.

Several years ago, Mum sent me over to the UK for my tertiary education. I have been frantically searching for where to buy matcha cheesecake in the UK. Failed to secure a university in London, it is even harder to buy a delicious matcha dessert outside London. Then, I asked myself how hard is it to make matcha cheesecake at home. I am extremely grateful for the presence of “Google” and “Youtube”. They allow me to experiment with various recipes to produce the perfect no-bake matcha cheesecake to fix my cravings.

What does matcha taste like?

Calling all matcha lovers! Have you ever wonder what does matcha taste like? Matcha is a very unique flavour and hard to describe. It’s slightly bitter and not commonly acceptable by locals in the UK. I can’t remember when is my first encounter with “Matcha” or “green tea”; but once I tried it, it is forever engraved in my mind. My mum could never fathom my love for matcha… Just like how I could never understand her persistent love for gardening!

NOT, let me repeat it again, DO NOT compromise on the quality of your Matcha powder. I got myself a premium matcha powder at half price at Japan centre. It does make a difference when you are mixing matcha powder with your mixture. With a lower quality one, it tends to form several rocky, small bubble, that is so stubborn that, no matter how many times you stir it, it will not dissolve. How frustrating it is?! Right? Your problem could be resolved by simply making any matcha-related products using a premium version of matcha – it just made your life so much easy and you always wanted to deliver a premium product to your customer right?

Matcha Cheesecake

I've experimented with matcha powder again. Make sure you include the right portion of matcha powder or else the strong, bitter matcha taste might overpower the cheesecake flavour. Check out my recipe below.
