Measuring utensils
Step 1: Separate the oreo biscuit from the cream filling (you won’t need the cream filling so throw away or you can add to the filling but I don’t), fill a bag with the biscuits and smash with a rolling pin until it resembles bread crumbs. Set some biscuits aside to sprinkle over the top.
Step 2: Pour the biscuits into your mould, then add the melted butter and mix thoroughly. Pat down firmly and push a little to the ends to create a little edge to your cheesecake. Leave to chill in the fridge for at least 40 minutes or in the freezer for 20 minutes.
Step 3: Cut and mix the cream cheese until smooth, separate out 3/4 into another bowl and add the Matcha and mix until combined. Then in another bowl whip the cream to soft peaks.
Step 4: Fold proportionate amounts of the cream into both cream cheese mixtures – this creates a lighter textured cheesecake. Once fully combined, leave to rest in the fridge until the crust is ready
Step 5: Pour either mixture first and the other on top to create a two layered slice.
Step 6: Pop back into the fridge to chill and set for at least 3 hours or in the freezer for 2 hours, although it’s best to leave it in the fridge overnight.
Step 7: Once it’s set, take the cheesecake out of its mould and start to decorate! Sprinkle oreo biscuit crumbs, pieces of oreos, Matcha and anything you like over it!
Thea Tips
-
If you can’t wait for the cream cheese to thaw just microwave the cream cheese in small bursts at a low heat
-
If you want to skip the two layer effect, just mix the Matcha and cream cheese in one bowl but add a bit more Matcha to really get that kick – or add to taste.
-
Diced fresh or canned mangoes are surprisingly good with this.
