Description
Indulge in the divine flavors of Strawberry Matcha Swirl cheesecake Bars, a decadent dessert that combines the refreshing notes of matcha with the sweetness of fresh strawberries.
Ingredients
– 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 2 eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 2 tablespoons matcha powder
– 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and diced
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan.
2. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the sugar and mix until well combined.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Divide the batter into two equal portions. In one portion, mix in the matcha powder until evenly distributed.
5. In the prepared baking pan, pour the plain cheesecake batter and spread it evenly. Top with the diced strawberries.
6. Dollop the matcha-infused batter on top of the strawberries and use a knife or toothpick to swirl the two batters together.
7. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is almost set. Allow to cool completely before cutting into bars.

For best results, chill the cheesecake bars in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
