This matcha tea cheesecake recipe is everything a dessert should be: creamy, rich, and effortlessly elegant. The earthy flavour of matcha blends perfectly with the zesty cream cheese filling, all nestled on a buttery biscuit crust. Best of all, it’s a no-bake recipe, perfect for both special occasions and those times when you just want a little indulgence.
Line the base of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper. Crush the graham crackers or digestive biscuits into fine crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin. Transfer to a bowl, add sugar, and mix well. Pour in the melted butter and stir until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press the crumbs firmly into the base of the pan using a spoon or the bottom of a glass to create an even, compact crust.

Make the cream cheese mixture
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar with a hand mixer on medium speed until smooth, creamy, and fluffy. This may take about 2 minutes. Sift in the matcha powder, then add sour cream, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Beat again for about 2 to 3 minutes until everything is well combined.

Whip the heavy cream
In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. Stop as soon as the cream holds its shape to avoid splitting.

Combine the filling
Using a spatula, gently fold the whipped cream into the matcha cream cheese mixture. Fold slowly and lightly until no streaks remain and the mixture looks smooth and airy.

Assemble the cheesecake
Remove the crust from the refrigerator. Pour the filling over the crust and spread it evenly, making sure it reaches the edges. Smooth the top lightly with a spatula.

Chill and set
Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until fully set. For the best texture and clean slices, chilling overnight is recommended.

Finish and serve
Finish with a light dusting of matcha powder on top. Run a knife around the edges before removing the springform ring. For clean slices, use a hot knife and wipe between cuts.
