Instructions

  1. Line a 6x2.5-inch round cake pan with parchment paper and preheat your oven to 450 degrees F (230C).
  2. Add the cream cheese, heavy cream, sugar, eggs, and matcha to a blender and blend until smooth.
  3. Pour the batter into the parchment-lined cake pan and set it on a baking sheet. Use a dropping motion to force any air bubbles in the batter to the surface and repeat until you don't see any more air bubbles.
  4. Bake the Basque Cheesecake in the oven for about 20-25 minutes. It should be browned on top but still very jiggly in the center. Do not bake it for more than 25 minutes.
  5. Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool on a rack until it reaches room temperature. Once it's cooled off, cover the pan and place it in the refrigerator for at least 5 hours to set.
  6. To slice the Matcha Basque Cheesecake, use a pot of boiling water to heat and clean the knife between each slice to ensure you get nice clean cuts.
