1

Get Your Ingredients Together

Gather all the necessary ingredients: cream cheese, sugar, matcha powder, graham cracker crumbs, butter, vanilla extract, eggs, and heavy cream. Make sure everything is at room temperature for easier blending.

2

Prepare the Crust

In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a springform pan, creating an even layer. Place the pan in the refrigerator to chill while you work on the filling.

3

Whip Up the Filling

In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the matcha powder and vanilla extract, and mix well. Gradually add the eggs, one at a time, mixing just until combined. Finally, pour in the heavy cream and continue mixing until the filling is silky and well blended.

4

Bake and Chill

Pour the creamy matcha filling onto the chilled crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula. Place the pan in a preheated oven and bake at 325°F (160°C) for approximately 60 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still has a slight jiggle. Once baked, remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Then, transfer it to the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight if you can wait that long!

5

Serve and Enjoy

Once chilled, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Slice it into beautiful portions and serve. You can dust some matcha powder on top for an extra touch of green goodness. Grab a fork, take a bite, and savor the velvety matcha cheesecake goodness!
