Instructions

Set the oven to 180'C (350'F)

TO MAKE THE OREO BASE

Place the Oreo cookies (with the creme filling) in a high-speed blender and blend until the cookies form crumbs. Add melted butter and combine.

Transfer the cookies into a greased 8-inch springform pan and press down to form a base. Set aside.

TO MAKE THE CHEESECAKE FILLING

Next, whip the cream to form soft peaks.

Add the condensed milk and soft cream cheese to whipped cream. Whip slowly for about 30 seconds or until all ingredients have blended. Don't overmix. Add the lemon juice, vanilla essence, and match powder. Fold these ingredients in using a spatula.

Pour the filling into the prepared cookie base.

Place into a preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes.

Remove from the oven. The cheesecake still cooks once removed from the hot oven, which will set perfectly. Serve the cheesecake once it has completely cooled down.

Optional to decorate with fresh strawberries, grated chocolate, or crushed Oreos. Enjoy! X

Notes

🍓 CAN I DECORATE MY CHEESECAKE? Absolutely! You can decorate your matcha cheesecake to make it extra special. Dust the top with a light sprinkle of matcha powder for a bold green finish, or add swirls of whipped creams around the edges. Fresh berries like strawberries or raspberries, bring a pop of color and sweetness. For an extra touch, drizzle white chocolate or add edible flowers to give it that elegant, Instagram-worthy vibe!

🔪 WHAT IS THE EASIEST WAY TO REMOVE THE CAKE FROM THE PAN? Make sure that the cheesecake is 100% cool. Then the easiest way to remove the cheesecake from the pan is to first run a thin knife around the edges to loosen it from the sides. Then, gradually and gently unlock and remove the springform pan's outer ring. Place the cheesecake (with the bottom of the cake pan still attached) onto the cake stand of plate.
