Ingredients
  

  • 900 g cream cheese softened
  • 300 g granulated sugar
  • 5 large eggs
  • 360 ml heavy cream
  • 3 tablespoons matcha powder sifted
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line an 8-inch springform pan with parchment paper. Crumple the parchment paper before you place it in the pan.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
  • Add eggs one at a time, mixing until just combined after each addition.
  • Stir in heavy cream and vanilla extract until just combined.
  • In a small bowl, sift together matcha powder, all-purpose flour, and salt. Gently add to the wet batter and mix until just combined.
  • Pour batter into the prepared springform pan and tap gently to release air bubbles.
  • Bake for 50-60 minutes, until the top is deeply golden brown and the center is slightly jiggly.
  • Cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
