No-Bake Matcha Cheesecake Recipe 🍰🍵
Ingredients:
For the Crust:
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons sugar
For the Filling:
1 1/4 cups heavy cream
2 teaspoons matcha green tea powder
1 cup cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 cup boiling water
For the Topping:
Matcha powder, for dusting
Fresh berries or whipped cream (optional)
Instructions:
Prepare the Crust:
Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar in a bowl until well combined.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8-inch springform pan, ensuring an even layer.
Chill in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
Make the Matcha Mixture:
Dissolve matcha powder in boiling water, stirring until smooth with no lumps.
Set aside to cool slightly.
Prepare the Filling:
In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the cooled matcha mixture to the cream cheese mixture, mixing until well combined.
Gently fold in the whipped cream until the mixture is uniform.
Assemble the Cheesecake:
Pour the filling over the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Tap the pan gently on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
Chill:
Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 6 hours, or overnight, until it is firm and set.
Serve:
Before serving, carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan.
Dust the top of the cheesecake lightly with matcha powder.
Garnish with fresh berries or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
Enjoy:
Slice and serve the cheesecake chilled for the best flavor and texture.
Tips:
Matcha Quality: Use high-quality, ceremonial-grade matcha for the best flavor and vibrant green color.
Smooth Texture: Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing to avoid lumps.
Setting Time: The longer the cheesecake sets in the refrigerator, the easier it will be to slice.
