Green tea cheesecake
Silla Bjerrum's Simple Japanese with east / west flavours is a book full of Japanese inspired recipes. A bit like fusion cuisine. I can't remember where I bought it from and I have never done a single one of it's recipes. I searched through it's pages and there were a lot of ingredients I did not have at home. I almost quit until I reached the dessert section and this recipe caught my attention. I LOVE green tea. Let me just say this again in case the first time wasn't understood: I love green tea. So how could I resist? The cheesecake is amazing but it is for green tea lovers. It's not as sweet as one is used to and it is intense. We cut small slices and one was enough for my partner. Suffice to say I ate two at a time... I added more double cream and cream cheese than the recipe called for because, otherwise, it would have been a really small cheesecake. I appreciate that some people will eat small slices but there is a limit to how small a cheesecake can be...
