Ingredients
- For the crust:
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- For the mousse filling:
- 2 cups heavy cream, divided

- 2 tablespoons matcha green tea powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons gelatin
- ¼ cup warm water
- For the decoration:
- Whipped cream
- Matcha powder (for dusting)

Instructions
- Prepare the crust: In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to set.
- Make the mousse filling: In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the warm water and let it bloom for about 5 minutes.
- In a separate mixing bowl, beat 1 cup of heavy cream until soft peaks form. In another bowl, mix the cream cheese, sugar, matcha powder, and vanilla until smooth.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
- Heat the bloomed gelatin until it’s completely dissolved, then fold it into the mousse mixture quickly to avoid lumps.
- Assemble the cheesecake: Pour the mousse filling over the prepared crust in the springform pan. Smooth it out with a spatula. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
- Serve: Once set, carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Decorate with whipped cream, a dusting of matcha powder, and fresh berries if desired. Slice and serve your delicious Green Tea Mousse Cheesecake!
