Matcha Basque Cheesecake

Cheesecake Basque au Matcha

Ingredients

  • 600g cream cheese (such as Philadelphia), at room temperature
  • 160g powdered sugar
  • 25g matcha powder
  • 12g cornstarch
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 4 eggs, at room temperature
  • 400ml full-fat liquid cream

Preparation


1.
Crumple a sheet of parchment paper, then line your mold with it. Preheat the oven to 230°C. In a bowl, whisk together the sugar, matcha, and cornstarch.
2.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the powder mixture and mix well.
3.
Incorporate the beaten eggs in 3 additions, mixing well after each. Finally, add the liquid cream and mix until a homogeneous mixture is obtained.
4.
Pass the mixture through a fine sieve to obtain a perfectly smooth, lump-free texture.
5.
Pour the mixture into the lined mold. Bake at 230°C for 40 to 45 minutes, until a nice golden brown color is achieved on the surface. The center should still tremble slightly when removed from the oven.
6.
Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate overnight before serving.
