Green Tea Cheesecake
Matcha, or green tea powder, lends a lovely green color and refreshing flavor to cheesecake. The best part about this chocolate-crusted version, though, is that it doesn't need to be baked.

FROM THE
RECIPE:
Traditional American/New York baked cheesecake has inspired many books and articles on mastering the techniques behind perfect cheesecake. This time around, I felt like trying out an unbaked version. Made with cream cheese and gelatin, and lightened with whipped cream these unbaked cheesecakes are made very similar to the traditional mousse cakes from France. This style of cheesecake is popular in Hong Kong and Japan, likely because it has a lighter, fluffier texture that is preferred over there. Another advantage to these unbaked cheesecakes is since they don't required baking, there aren't the same concerns over baking for exactly the right time and with cracking tops. It's almost ridiculously simple to put together.
