Looking for a simple recipe for a no-bake matcha cheesecake? This creamy dessert with white chocolate is subtly sweet, fluffy, and suitable even for beginners.
Thanks to high-quality matcha from Matchavia, you'll get not only a great taste but also natural, sustained energy. For this cheesecake, we recommend Matchavia Signature. Its more pronounced flavor won't get lost in mascarpone and white chocolate, so a smaller amount of powder – just 3-4g – is enough, and the dessert will retain its characteristic matcha taste.

Instructions: How to prepare a matcha cheesecake without gelatin
1. Cheesecake crust
Blend the biscuits, mix with butter and coconut.
Press the mixture into a springform pan and chill in the refrigerator to set.

Yes – thanks to white chocolate and mascarpone. Just make sure it's well-chilled.
Can I use a different matcha?
If you're looking for matcha for baking or desserts, we recommend Matchavia Signature. It has a more pronounced flavor profile than ceremonial matcha, so you can taste it even in recipes with mascarpone, white chocolate, or milk. Therefore, a smaller amount of powder is often sufficient per serving compared to preparing Japanese matcha.

Absolutely – it's a simple no-bake cheesecake without complicated steps.
Why bake with matcha?
Matcha isn't just a trendy ingredient. It contains natural caffeine and antioxidants, which add a functional benefit to the dessert.
