SERVINGS: Enough to share
TIME: 5 hrs, 15min
CATEGORY: Desserts
INGREDIENTS
- • 226 grams cream cheese
- • 1 cup heavy cream
- • 60 grams sugar
- • 2 large eggs
- • 1 egg yolk
- • 15 grams cake flour
- • 12 grams Aiya Culinary Grade Matcha
- • 250 grams anko (red bean paste)
DIRECTIONS
- 1. Preheat the oven to the 450°F.
- 2. Line a 6-inch round cake pan with 2 large sheets of parchment paper, and leave at least 2 inches of overhang around all edges.
- 3. Add all of the cake ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.
- 4. Add the red bean paste into the cake pan, and then pour the mixture into the cake pan.
- 5. Tap the cake pan on the countertop a few times to release big air bubbles.
- 6. Bake the cheesecake until the top is dark amber/brown, about 25 – 30 minutes. The cake should still be very jiggly in the center when you remove it from the oven.
- 7. Cool in the pan completely at room temperature, then use the parchment overhang to pull out. Gently pull the parchment away from the cake, slice, and enjoy. (If you like a chilled cheesecake, once it’s cooled off, cover the pan and place it in the refrigerator for at least 5 hours to set.)
- 8. Enjoy!
