A few nights ago, my husband went home bearing boxes of green tea and a pack of green tea chocolate bars. A colleague of his came back from a vacation in Japan and my husband received those from him as his souvenirs. When I first tasted the green tea chocolate bars, I wouldn’t want to let go of the pack- green tea tastes so good as a chocolate bar and I couldn’t have enough. But of course, I knew my sons should have their own pieces so I relented.
I haven’t seen any of those chocolate bars in the local grocery, but my husband assured me that he has seen one before. I also enjoyed the green tea because it tasted so good even without sugar. It’s probably my next favorite after coffee.
Inspired by green tea, I decided to look for a recipe that I’m sure my family will love. Almost immediately, I found one- green tea cheesecake. And I am telling you, there is nothing ordinary about this.
The cheesecake tastes so good and surprisingly… light. Although I have tasted Japanese cheesecake before and it’s indeed… light. You really need to try this for your family because this tastes amazing!
My sons and my husband loved this- they wouldn’t stop at one slice. So if I were you, head on over to the next page for the complete set of ingredients and instructions!

Quick Tip: The trick with matcha is not to use too much, or else the flavor will become very bitter.
