Organic matcha tea cheesecake

Hello ! After several tries, I am delighted to offer you my matcha (and lime) cheesecake recipe. A cooked and dense cheesecake that remains very creamy, for me it has the perfect texture!

Regarding the matcha, I chose the ultra-premium organic matcha. I added lime juice to the appliance because I find it super good with matcha, in addition to providing a very pleasant little acidity. I strongly recommend that you serve your cheesecake with a raspberry or red berry coulis. 😀

The recipe is for a 16cm matcha cheesecake.

Matcha cheesecake process

The biscuit base

Reduce the cookies to a rather fine powder. To do this, put them in a freezer bag and "tap" them with a rolling pin.

Add the melted butter and a pinch of salt.

Line a 16 cm circle with baking paper and place the cookie dough in it, packing it well. Reserve in the freezer.

Matcha cream cheese

Whisk the egg with the sugar.

In a small bowl, whip the matcha with the liquid cream, gradually incorporating it, so as to obtain a paste. Incorporate this matcha paste into the previous egg / sugar mixture, then add the organic cream cheese (or Philadelphia) then the lime juice.

Pour the cream cheese matcha into the 16 cm circle lined with baking paper, over the biscuit base.

Bake the matcha cheesecake at 180 ° C and immediately lower the thermostat to 90 ° C. Cook for 1h30. Take out of the oven, allow the cheesecake to cool completely before removing the rings, then place it in the fridge at least 10 hours before tasting.

Just before serving, sprinkle with ultra premium organic matcha. Cut the matcha cheesecake into small pieces and serve with a chilled raspberry coulis.

Good achievement! 😀
