No-Bake Matcha Cheesecake

Base

• 200g shortbread cookies
• 1 tsp matcha green tea powder
• 65g unsalted butter, melted

Filling

• 400g cream cheese, room temperature
• 80g granulated sugar
• 2 tsp matcha green tea powder

• 1/4 cup lemon juice (from about 1 lemon)
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 tsp powdered gelatin
• 2 1/2 tbsp cold water
• Extra matcha green tea powder, for dusting

Directions

• Make the base: mix the melted butter, crushed cookies, and matcha, then press into the bottom of an 8-inch springform pan. Chill in the fridge while you make the filling.
• Make the filling: beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the matcha and sugar and combine.
• Add the whipping cream, lemon juice, and vanilla and mix until smooth.
• Mix the gelatin and cold water in a small bowl and microwave 30 seconds. Add to the filling and beat until fully combined.
• Pour the filling into the pan and return to the fridge to chill until set, about 3 hours.
• Run a sharp knife around the edges, release the sides of the springform pan, and slide off the cake.
• Dust the entire surface with matcha through a mesh sieve. Enjoy!
