Matcha No Bake Cheesecake
Does dessert get any more summer pretty than this? Matcha no bake cheesecake is a fancy party worthy dessert, that’s summertime simple to make.
The most complicated part of this recipe is whipping the heavy cream, and you know, that’s not difficult, it just takes a few minutes.
Variations:
I topped my matcha no bake cheesecake with slices of limes, blueberries and matcha tea powder. You could use any fresh fruit as a topping, I’m thinking kiwi would be wonderful!
If you’re not a fan of matcha tea, you may use any green tea in this recipe. Simply pulse the tea leaves in your blender or spice grinder until you have a powder consistency.
You can find matcha tea powder in many specialty tea stores or on line. I used a brand called Matcha Life. You can find it on Amazon with a quick search.
Matcha tea is a finely ground green tea. In fact, it’s a powder, there are no leaves in this tea. Matcha is specially grown, harvested and processed under strict guidelines to qualify for the name, matcha.
Traditionally matcha tea was used ceremonially, but in recent times, it’s become much more available.

How to Store Matcha No Bake Cheesecake:
Refrigerator: cover with airtight wrapping such as aluminum foil or plastic wrap. Keeps for 7-10 days in refrigerator, if you’re lucky and nobody eats it!
Freezer: wrap tightly with aluminum foil or plastic before freezing. Do not top with lime slices or blueberries prior to freezing as quality of fresh fruit declines upon thawing.
Frozen no bake matcha cheesecake will keep well up to two months. For ease of serving, freeze individual slices separately and thaw only as many slices as you need at a time.
Do not store on counter top or at room temperature except in preparation for serving.
