Matcha Cheesecake (Baked)
The first time we tried matcha with cream cheese, we knew we had a fun, easy-to-prep dish in the making. As it turns out, earthy, nutty and floral notes pair quite well with rich, tangy and buttery flavors. Best served in cheesecake form, this is one of our most popular recipes and has been tested by many community members. It’s creamy, light and delicately sweet in flavor. The combination of matcha and cheesecake is a match made in heaven.
