Instructions

Step 1

Start by crushing the cookies for the crust and the freeze dried strawberries for the cheesecake.

Step 2

Add butter to the crushed cookies and spread on a 7inch cheesecake pan. Bake at 350f for 10 minutes.

Step 3

Cream the cream cheese, sugar, and powdered strawberries. Add the sour cream, vanilla, flour, and eggs. Do not over mix.

Step 4

Transfer batter to the cheesecake pan and bake in a water bath at 350f for 15min, then reduce to 300f and bake for another 30min or until the edges are set and center is wobbly.

Step 5

Turn off the oven, open the door, and let the cheesecake rest in there for 30min to avoid cracks. Let it cool to room temperature, and chill the cheesecake overnight or for at least 4 hours.

Step 6

In the meantime, make the matcha frosting: Cream the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, and sifted matcha powder until mixture is smooth. Add the cold heavy cream and whip until stiff peaks are formed. Set aside in the fridge.

Step 7

Pipe the matcha frosting on the cheesecake and top with strawberries. Enjoy!
