Step-by-Step Instructions for Matcha Japanese Cheesecake

  • Preheat your oven to 320°F (160°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  • Soften the cream cheese by letting it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes. Beat until smooth, and mix in the granulated sugar until creamy.
  • Pour in the milk and mix thoroughly until homogenous. Ensure there are no lumps.
  • Sift in the all-purpose flour and matcha, then carefully fold into the wet mixture until just combined.
  • Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition to keep the mixture light.
  • Stir in the vanilla extract and lemon juice until smooth.
  • Carefully pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  • Bake for approximately 60 minutes, until the edges are set and the center has a slight jiggle.
  • Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for an additional 30 minutes to cool gradually.
  • After baking, cool at room temperature for about an hour, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
  • Remove the sides of the springform pan, slice into 8 servings, and serve chilled.

Notes

Use high-quality matcha for the best flavor. Make sure to soften the cream cheese properly for a smooth batter.
