Chocolate Matcha Cheesecake 巧克力抹茶芝士蛋糕

As I wanted to use up my matcha powder that was bought from Japan and some remaining chocolate cream, I put them together to bake this simple matcha cheesecake without the base crust and use the chocolate cream as topping. The matcha cheesecake smells wonderful during baking. I shared this delicious dessert with my home guests and when they gave their thumbs up, I was so happy as this light and delicate chocolate matcha cheesecake is simply divine!
