Instructions

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan to ensure easy removal later.

Create the Crust

  • In a mixing bowl, combine Oreo crumbs with melted butter. Stir until the crumbs resemble wet sand.
  • Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of your prepared pan. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, allowing it to set slightly, and then let it cool while you prepare the filling.

Make the Cheesecake Filling

  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until it becomes smooth and creamy.
  • Gradually add in the granulated sugar, blending well.
  • Incorporate the sour cream and vanilla extract, and mix until fully combined.
  • Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Finally, mix in the matcha powder, ensuring it is fully incorporated, and gently fold in the crushed Oreo pieces.

Prepare the Matcha Swirl

  • In a small bowl, combine the reserved matcha powder, granulated sugar, and hot water, stirring until you achieve a smooth consistency.

Assemble the Cheesecake

  • Pour the cheesecake mixture into the cooled Oreo-crust pan.
  • Drizzle the matcha swirl mixture over the top, and use a toothpick or skewer to create elegant swirls.

Bake & Cool

  • Place the cheesecake in the preheated oven and bake for 60-70 minutes, or until the center is mostly set and the edges are lightly browned.
  • Once baked, turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour to cool gradually.

Chill

  • After the cheesecake has cooled, transfer it to the refrigerator. Allow it to chill for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.

Decorate

  • Once ready to serve, carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Top with whipped cream, a dusting of matcha powder, and Oreo cookies.

Notes

Ensure all ingredients align with halal dietary requirements. Use room temperature ingredients for better mixing and avoid overmixing the batter with eggs to prevent cracks during baking. Use a water bath for best results.
