Matcha Basque Cheesecake

Step 1

Line a 6x2.5-inch round cake pan with parchment paper and preheat your oven to 450 degrees F (230C).

Step 2

Add the cream cheese, heavy cream, sugar, eggs, and matcha to a blender and blend until smooth.

Step 3

Pour the batter into the parchment-lined cake pan and set it on a baking sheet. Use a dropping motion to force any air bubbles in the batter to the surface and repeat until you don't see any more air bubbles.

Step 4

Bake the Basque Cheesecake in the oven for about 20-25 minutes. It should be browned on top but still very jiggly in the center. Do not bake it for more than 25 minutes.

Step 5

Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool on a rack until it reaches room temperature. Once it's cooled off, cover the pan and place it in the refrigerator for at least 5 hours to set.

Step 6

To slice the Matcha Basque Cheesecake, use a pot of boiling water to heat and clean the knife between each slice to ensure you get nice clean cuts.
