Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted

• 2 tablespoons matcha powder
• 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
• ¼ cup caramel sauce

How to Make Layered Matcha and Vanilla Cheesecake

1. Start by preparing the crust. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
2. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create an even layer. Place the pan in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the filling.
3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy.
4. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
5. Divide the cream cheese mixture in half. In one half, add the matcha powder and stir until well mixed and the color is uniform.
6. Spread the vanilla cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled crust in the springform pan.
7. Next, carefully layer the matcha cream cheese mixture on top of the vanilla layer, smoothing it out with a spatula.
8. Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
9. Before serving, remove the cheesecake from the refrigerator and carefully unclip the springform pan.
10. Top with sliced strawberries and drizzle with caramel sauce. Slice and serve chilled.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature for easy mixing.
• Chill the cheesecake for a minimum of 4 hours, but overnight is best for a firmer texture.
• Use high-quality matcha powder for the best flavor and color.

Easy Variations

• Substitute the strawberries with other fruits like raspberries or blueberries for a different flavor profile.
• For an added crunch, sprinkle crushed nuts on top before serving.
• Experiment with flavored extracts, such as almond or coconut, for a unique twist.

What to Serve With It

• A cup of green tea complements the matcha flavor beautifully.
• Serve with whipped cream for extra indulgence.
• Pair with a light fruit salad for a refreshing contrast.
