Matcha cheesecake

by lilnursewriter

The good old-fashion cheesecake should never be forgotten when it comes to preparing a dessert party. This is one of the most popular dessert menu choices at people’s weddings because everyone loves cheesecake. Who doesn’t? okay, maybe a few.

I love cheesecake, it is delicious and simple to make. period. Even people who bake for the first time should not be afraid to fail this because the steps are straightforward. Mix, mix, mix, pour into a baking container, and bake. Voila!

The only twist I place in this recipe is simply adding some matcha powder to change up the flavor a bit, and also because I love everything with matcha. I also put this into the 12-cup muffin pan to bake individual mini matcha cheesecake. I found the mini cheesecake is easier to store and bring to work or on a picnic, and it also makes sharing much easier.

Let’s get ready for some matcha cheesecake party!
