I posted this Matcha Cheesecake a while ago on Instagram, and got so many DMs inquiring about the recipe. This recipe was originally created for Aiya Matcha, a local California family-run company. This post is not sponsored, all opinions are my own. I am excited to share the full recipe and break it down here on the blog!

YOU’LL NEED:

  • Large zip lock bag
  • Rolling pin
  • Large Mixing bowl
  • Electric mixer
  •  6 in or 7 in springform pan

Start out by Preheating the oven to 350°F, and line a 6″ or 7″ springform pan with parchment paper.

FIRST LAYER (BOTTOM): Oreo Crust

  1. You’ll need about 16-18 Oreo cookies. Remove the middle cream filling. Then crush the cookies in a plastic bag using a rolling pin.
  2. Mix crushed Oreos and 2 ½ tbsp of melted butter together until coarse crumbs form.
  3. Press crumbs firmly into the springform pan to form an even layer. Set aside.

SECOND LAYER (MIDDLE): Matcha Cheesecake

  1. Prepare a clean large mixing bowl and a handheld or standing electric mixer.
  2. Add 16 oz cream cheese, ½ cup granulated sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla extract into the mixing bowl. Beat cream cheese mixture until smooth.
  3. Add 2 large eggs, one at a time, and mix until well combined. Sift in 1 tbsp matcha powder and mix until incorporated. Pour batter into the springform pan.
  4. Bake for 25 minutes at 350°F. Take the cake out, cover with aluminum, then return cake back to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes.
  5. Remove cake from the oven and let is cool completely. Once cooled, refrigerate the cake until ready to use/serve.

THIRD LAYER (TOP): Whipped Cream

  1. Using a handheld or standing mixer with whisk attachment, whip ¾ cup heavy cream and 1 tbsp granulated sugar until medium peak forms (takes about 3-4 minutes). Gently spread a thick layer of whipped cream on top of the chilled cake.
  2. Dust cake with matcha powder (optional). Enjoy!

Match powder can be quite bitter. so the trick is to not use too much. Adding Oreo crust and smooth whipped cream to the cake balances out the bitterness and grassy notes of matcha powder, and brings out the sweetness at the same time.
