Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons matcha powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture.
- Add Matcha: Sift the matcha powder into the cheesecake mixture and fold gently until fully incorporated. Add vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
- Layer the Cheesecake: Pour half of the matcha cheesecake filling over the crust and spread evenly. Layer half of the sliced strawberries on top, then add the remaining cheesecake filling and finish with the rest of the strawberries on top.
- Chill: Cover the springform pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
- Serve: Once set, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Slice and enjoy!
