Faq

  • Do I have to use a springform pan?

    While a springform pan is ideal for cheesecakes because it makes it easier to remove the cake, you can use a regular cake pan if needed. Just make sure to grease it well and line the bottom with parchment paper.

  • Can I make this cheesecake without an electric mixer?

    Yes, you can mix the ingredients by hand with a sturdy whisk or use a manual egg beater. Just make sure the cream cheese is very soft to ensure a smooth mixture.

  • How do I know when the cheesecake is done baking?

    The cheesecake is done when the edges are set, and the center has a slight jiggle. It will continue to firm up as it cools.

  • Can I use another type of tea powder instead of matcha?

    Yes, you can experiment with other tea powders like hojicha (roasted green tea) for a different flavor profile. Just keep in mind that this may alter the taste and color of the cheesecake.

  • How long can I store the cheesecake?

    You can store the cheesecake in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Make sure it's tightly covered to prevent it from drying out.

  • Can I freeze the cheesecake for later?

    Absolutely! Wrap individual slices or the whole cheesecake in plastic wrap and then foil. Freeze for up to 2 months for best flavor and texture.
