Matcha Japanese Cheesecake

All of a sudden, I craved for matcha Japanese Cheesecake; full of matcha flavored,  fluffy, cottony soft, fine texture, light & heavenly cheesecake. Without thinking much, I bake one by adapting the popular Japanese Cheesecake (aka sponge cheesecake or cheese sponge cake). Thus, here is my version of delicious Matcha Japanese Cheesecake that not only known for its deliciousness but also packed with awesome health benefits from the matcha powder.

Matcha has skyrocketed in popularity lately, with matcha shots, lattes, teas and even desserts appearing everywhere from health stores to coffee shops. Like green tea, matcha comes from the Camellia sinensis plant. However, it is grown differently and has a unique nutrient profile.

Amongst its many health benefits, matcha…

Boosts metabolism and burns calories

Detoxifies effectively and naturally

Calms the mind and relaxes the body

Is rich in fiber, chlorophyll and vitamins

Enhances mood and aids in concentration

Matcha tea is an easy and simple way to add powerful health benefits to your everyday diet.
