Who else is a matcha-lover?
I was enlightened by this flavour combination after trying the @purabon matcha cacao probiotic ball which blew my mind! – definitely a matcha made in heaven!
Hence, I created this no-bake cheesecake and it was fab! The earthy, nutty bitterness of matcha gives chocolate an extra dimension of flavour and keeps me going back!
Here is the recipe:
