This blueberry matcha cheesecake is rich, creamy, and packed with smooth matcha flavor. With a buttery graham cracker crust and a sweet blueberry topping, it’s an easy homemade dessert that looks as good as it tastes.
💚 Ingredients
Crust:
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1 stick melted butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Cheesecake Filling:
- 32 oz cream cheese
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract)
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons Japanese Matcha
- 4 room-temperature eggs
Blueberry Topping:
- 2 cups blueberries
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 cups water
Whipped Topping:
- Whipped cream (optional)
🥄 Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F.
- In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until evenly mixed.
- Line a springform pan with parchment paper, then press the crust mixture firmly into the bottom of the pan.
- Bake the crust at 325°F for 8 minutes, then let it cool completely.
- In a large stand mixture, add the cream cheese and granulated sugar. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Add the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, vanilla bean paste, and sea salt. Mix again until combined.
- Add the matcha powder and mix until the filling is evenly green and smooth. Be sure to scrap the sides as you go.
- Slowly add the room-temperature eggs 1 at a time and mix just until incorporated.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top.
- Bake at 350°F for 1 hour. You want the outer sides to be slightly golden but the center to still have a bit of movement.
- Turn the oven off and open the oven door slightly, letting the cheesecake slowly decrease in temperature for 10 minutes (this will help prevent cracking).
- Let the cheesecake cool completely on the counter, then transfer it to the fridge to chill for 4 hours (over night is preferred).
- In a sauce pan combine the blueberries, sugar, and water. Bring to a simmer on medium-low heat, making sure to stir consistently. After 10-15 minutes the compote should thicken.
- Remove from heat and let cool completely (the sauce will thicken even more as it cools).
- Top your cheesecake with blueberry compote before serving. Add whipped cream and a dusting of matcha if desired.
- Enjoy!
Pro Tip: Use room-temperature ingredients for a smoother cheesecake batter and chill overnight for the best texture.
