    The Ingredients for Healthy Matcha Cheesecake

    Let's start by exploring the nutritious ingredients that make our matcha cheesecake a healthy and delectable dessert choice:

    • Almond flour: Packed with vitamins and minerals, almond flour serves as the base for our chocolate crust.
    • Cacao powder: Rich in nutrients like iron and magnesium, cacao powder adds a delicious chocolatey taste to the crust.
    • Date nectar & dates: High in potassium, magnesium, and copper, these natural sweeteners provide a healthier alternative to refined sugars.
    • Cashews: Loaded with fiber and essential nutrients, raw cashews create a creamy texture for the matcha filling.
    • Lemon juice: Bursting with disease-fighting vitamin C, lemon juice adds a refreshing tang to the cheesecake.
    • Matcha green tea powder: A powerful antioxidant, matcha green tea powder infuses the dessert with its distinct and vibrant flavor.
    • Coconut oil and coconut milk: These ingredients contribute medium-chain fats that are quickly metabolized for energy.

    Preparing for the Perfect Healthy Matcha Cheesecake

    Before diving into the recipe, let's cover some essential tips for achieving the best results:

    1. Use raw cashews: Opt for raw cashews to ensure a creamy and authentic matcha cheesecake experience.
    2. Soak cashews overnight: Soaking cashews overnight softens them, allowing for easy blending and a smoother filling.
    3. Choose high-quality matcha green tea powder: Look for ceremonial or culinary grade matcha powder to enhance the flavor profile of your no-bake cheesecake.
    4. Food process if using dates in the crust: If you decide to use dates instead of date syrup, blend all the crust ingredients in a food processor until you achieve a fine crumb consistency.
    5. Soak dates before blending: Softened dates blend more smoothly, resulting in a creamier texture for your crust or filling.
    6. Melt and cool coconut oil: Add melted coconut oil to the blender or food processor last to prevent chunkiness and ensure a well-incorporated filling.

    The Step-by-Step Process of Making Healthy Matcha Cheesecake

    Now, let's get into the exciting part—making your very own healthy matcha cheesecake:

    Step 1: Creating the No-Bake Almond Flour Chocolate Crust

    In a small bowl, combine the following ingredients for the crust:

    • 1 cup almond flour
    • ½ cup cacao powder
    • ½ cup date syrup
    • Dash of sea salt

    Mix the ingredients thoroughly until you achieve a slightly sticky texture. Adjust the consistency by adding more date syrup if necessary.

    Divide the chocolate crust mixture among 6 mini tart molds or 8 smaller molds for portion control. Alternatively, you can press the mixture into a springform pan for a single large matcha cheesecake.

    Press the crust firmly into the bottom of the molds or pan and set it aside for now.

    Step 2: Crafting the Healthy Matcha Cheesecake Filling

    To prepare the luscious matcha cream filling, follow these steps:

    1. Soak pitted dates in hot water for 15 minutes to soften them before blending.
    2. In a blender or food processor, combine the following ingredients:
    • 2 cups soaked raw cashews (drained)
    • 4 pitted dates (previously soaked)
    • ¼ cup melted and cooled coconut oil
    • ½ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
    • 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
    • 2 tablespoons matcha green tea powder
    • ⅛ cup maple syrup or date syrup

    Blend the ingredients until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency. Be sure to scrape down the sides of the blender or food processor as needed.

    Pour the prepared matcha filling over the chocolate crust in the molds or pan.

    Step 3: Perfecting the Coconut Milk Whipped Topping

    Yes, you can have a luscious whipped topping using coconut milk! Here's how:

    1. Scrape the top layer of coconut cream from a can of full-fat coconut milk into a bowl.
    2. Use a standing mixer fitted with a whisk attachment or handheld beaters to beat the cream until light and fluffy.
    3. Add a small amount of the liquid portion of the coconut milk to adjust the texture. You can add coconut sugar or another sweetener if desired.

    Pro Tip: Make the coconut whipped cream first, and use the remaining liquid portion for the matcha cream filling.

    Step 4: Serving and Storing Your Healthy Chocolate Matcha Cheesecake

    To enjoy your delectable creation, follow these serving and storing instructions:

    • Allow the healthy matcha cheesecake to thaw at room temperature for about 15 minutes before serving. This will ensure the best texture.
    • Top the cheesecake with coconut whipped cream for an extra layer of deliciousness.
    • To store the remaining mini cheesecakes, place them in an airtight container lined with parchment paper and store them in the freezer for up to 30 days.

    Frequently Asked Questions:

    1. Can I make a large healthy chocolate matcha cheesecake instead of mini-sized ones? Absolutely! Simply combine all the crust and filling ingredients in a larger mold rather than dividing them. Keep in mind that the larger the mold, the thinner your cheesecake will be.
    2. Why use raw cashews instead of roasted in healthy cheesecake? Raw cashews offer higher nutritional value, containing more antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals than roasted cashews. They also yield a creamier texture for cheesecakes and tarts.
    3. What's the difference between cocoa and cacao powder? Cacao powder is minimally processed and derived from raw cocoa beans, making it the healthier and more nutrient-dense option. On the other hand, cocoa powder undergoes more processing and contains fewer essential nutrients.

    Notes

    Make sure you soak the cashews overnight. This allows them to soften to blend into a creamy texture. If you didn't do this, you can soak it for ~1 hour ahead in hot water. Make sure you soak the dates for ~15 minutes to soften.
