- Matcha green tea powder — Use high-quality matcha powder for the best flavor and vibrant green color.
- Korean honey — Opt for a mild and floral variety of Korean honey to complement the cheesecake's flavors.
Tips & Tricks
- To prevent cracks on the surface of the cheesecake, place a pan of water on the bottom rack of the oven while baking.
- Allow the cheesecake to cool gradually by leaving it in the turned-off oven with the door slightly ajar for about an hour before transferring it to the refrigerator.
- For an extra touch of Korean flavor, garnish the cheesecake with a sprinkle of crushed Korean rice crackers and a drizzle of Korean honey before serving.

Serve each slice of the Korean-inspired cheesecake chilled, allowing the creamy texture to melt in your mouth. Pair it with a cup of hot Korean green tea for a delightful contrast of flavors.
Presentation advice
To enhance the presentation, dust the top of the cheesecake with a light sprinkle of matcha green tea powder. Garnish with edible flowers or fresh berries for an elegant touch.
