- 18 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Hojicha powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper, letting the paper overhang the sides.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar with an electric mixer until smooth.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, Hojicha powder, flour, salt, and vanilla extract until the Hojicha powder is dissolved.
- Gradually pour the wet mixture into the cream cheese mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan.
- Bake for 35 to 45 minutes. The top should be deeply browned, and the center should still wobble slightly.
- Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack at room temperature.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours before serving.
Notes
- Use high-quality Hojicha powder for the best roasted green tea flavor.
- For a truly rustic look, do not try to smooth the top before baking.
- This recipe is great for easy entertaining; it looks sophisticated but requires simple steps.
